Love Poem: Too Soon, Too Soon

Too Soon, Too Soon

Escaped! furtive glances
   Manifest of enchanted trances
Arrested by crimson faces averted
   Too soon, too soon, they'd flirted

The air yearned with sensation
    Surreptitious, delicious anticipation
Peering deeply into each other's eyes
   Too soon, too soon, they'd rhapsodized

Tilted heads on swooning necks 
   Lips toward targets puckered, flexed
The moment arrived, two souls to merge
   Too soon, too soon, they'd felt the urge...

Somberly returned, Cupid's bent arrow to its quiver
   Too soon, too soon, murmured love's melancholy river
