TROUBLE

In the dark
We went for a walk in the park
With my back against the bark
You pressed in close -- and kissed me once
I heard you breathe
But I couldn't see your eyes
Could you feel me shaking?
Didn't you realize the trouble you were making?
Between us no words were spoken
Because the spell would have been broken
When you took me home
And we stood at my door
You gently kissed my hand
And said to call if I wanted more
With weak knees -- I climbed the stairs
And fell across my bed
Remembering what you said -- did
Denying your power
I took a bath for nearly an hour
But your intoxicating scent was still there
On my clothes thrown over the chair
I flung them into the washer
Letting them soak and spin twice
Damn! Your touch was so nice
After much soul searching
I'm feeling better
A little unholy -- a little self-righteous
Here -- these flowers are for you
You've broken through

NOTICE BOARD

Hi SPT readers. I haven't posted anything new in several months. I don't want to post about political issues so until I'm inspired with something new or finish a story ....

Feel free to post comments about something you have read at SPT because I do like hearing from my readers even if it is just a hello. I don't put up my email address because I already get mail from people trying to sell me Viagra which goes straight to the Junk box. :) I do receive notification when someone has made a comment at SPT and I will respond as soon as I can. Thank you for visiting. -S

The Agenda-Civil Rights

Support for the LGBT Community: While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It's about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect. Federal law should not discriminate in any way against gay and lesbian couples. ... young & old, rich & poor, democrat & republican, black white hispanic asian native american gay straight disable and not disable ... we are and always will be the United States of America. --Barack Obama, (More)
