With obsessional drifts of hot aching
Flesh, at times young hearts, denying
Naivety, succumb, untried, to taking
On love. Oh the painful results of shy
Raw awakenings, when fledgling attempts
At romance meet rebuff. Sheer thunderbolt
Pain makes inroads again and again, events
Take on Goliath import when noting
The right way to kiss. Do you glance, like this?
Or, eyes closed, take a chance? It's all so risky!
