Vanquished

This was inspired by a dear friend....a confession that flooded me with so many memories and thoughts of the first time. It's not my best work, more like something I would have written 15 years ago...but it's sincere and I felt like sharing.

Virginity Vanquished
The first time
The first touch
Crossing the line
Feeling so much

Fear of the unknown
Excited and scared
Passion
Passion
Passion

Fear
Fearless
Terror
Pleasure
Pain
Pressure
Sweat
Sweet
Tears
Joy

The first time

Someone new
Looking in the mirror
Who?
Who are you?
But it’s still you.
A new you?
A damaged you?
A better you?
Who?

Guilt and Shame
Obsession

A taste
The flavor
Lust divine
The first sip of wine
Bittersweet
Bittersweet

Sweet again
The second taste
A different place
A heartbeat
A breath
The first time once again….
