Lust after Stephan Dunn

You're always interrupting something,
uninvited and unwelcome,
strongly felt in silent awkwardness.

Your most repeated gesture:
The bashful smile
that turns seductive.

When I am with you
I no longer feel
anything else.

You leave me
wanting more
than I think I want.

You, diminished by
the simplicity of
cold water and deep breathing
can be forever fueled by
uninhibited release.

Each time you become
more than I can handle.
You leave as suddenly
as you come.

Last time I saw you
was at a gathering surrounded
by strangers.
Control no longer mine
you dropped my hand
as soon as he grabbed it.

Leave me feeling
foolish and alone
the hypnotizing heat fading.

We could be great together but
I am too young and you
are too experienced.
