Gossamer

We met on a soon to be lovers star-filled night. Our bodies tingled like the taste of a glorious precious champagne at first sight. We embraced and soon swooned in each other’s waiting arms. Bodies dimly yet warmly lit by the setting sun. We relished each other’s svelte bodies in glorious fun. You adored me in red and I adored you in bed. The physical helpless attraction grew into respectful promises to love, honor, and support one another’s dreams as equals. And we respected each other’s vow until now. I will dress in red seductively lie on the bed listening to an overwhelming romantic sonata

but you may not touch. You may not touch until you renounce what you have done to me. Inequality. I who was your Aphrodite am now your Lysistrata. u
