warm air

I struggled at first because what I had to tell her,
was not making sense at first.
Because all that I had wanted in this life—
 was something elusive.
If not wet or exclusive.
Anyway, If it’s for two,
It should be sharing between consenting adults.
adults at most.
I saw an inviting woman,
Young but,
Not under age.
I told myself,
I’ll be a fool to let her slip—
from  my sight if not from my grasp.
Her body was something—
I haven’t seen before.
I went to her to tell her how I really feel.
And when warm air off her nose graced my neck,
I shook  terribly like I was being  hit by bullet- fragments.
