Love Poem: Timing Is Everything

Timing Is Everything

The moon was full
   Your lips were too
I nearly swooned
   Anticipating you

Your perfume's scent
   My senses bent
You moved, you swayed
   My desire engaged

I reached for your heart
   Then it all fell apart
I'd moved too fast
   For unripened love to last
 
Timing is everything, the philosophers say
   I'd picked the wrong time, a high price I'd paid
