Knowing

Once a woman has touched your flesh,
caught you attention
in a way frankly erotic,
you can never look at her again,
never hear her voice,
and not remember
her taste.
You can try for "friendly" lover status,
and it might be all easy breezy light---
but let a man touch her,
and watch for the green eyed monster
at the thought
that she might be taken by other flesh.

Knowing does not vanish,
she can never not remember
how it felt
when you filled her at first,
she can never look in your eyes,
and fail to think of the unasked kiss
she found herself tasting.

So never take to your bed
a friend you don't mean to keep as a lover,
because the knowing
the touch,
the taste
will never go away,
and there is no going back to friends
once she has tasted your seed,
once you have sunk into her body,
no matter how fair the intention.

The knowing remains.
