Libidinous passion,
Singeing, primal, momentary
Uplifting, intense, fulfilling
The memory still vivid
The blood still coursing
The breath still heavy
The heart still throbbing
The face still flush
Awash with intoxication
The afterglow of the encounter
The adrenaline of the escapade
The antidote to the ordinary
And across the schism, the aftermath
Oscillating, lingering, unforgiving
Between the conscience and the carnal
The detritus of an adulterated vow
