Sonnet: Episode in a Bar

Episode in a Bar
by John Boase
© 1998

A noisy, crowded bar, a drink in hand,
The mood is hedonistic and carefree;
The ambience, the rhythms of the band,
Persuade me to behave foolhardily.
I'm conscious that someone is close behind,
Our bodies touch... and touch... and touch again!
In that euphoric, daring state of mind
I see no need my instincts to restrain.
Pressed to my ass I feel him hard and strong,
My sex is wet, my nipples prominent;
I rub against him, eager to prolong
This potent, risky, wanton incident.
But then, reluctantly, I walk away,
It's better that the mystery should stay.
