it happened once
upon a time
a place with a piano
much wine
& cozy talk
they left late
tied in an amiable hug
heading for their separate quarters
each knew
the other shared
with someone else
passing through the old library
she gently pulled him down
upon a persian rug
and lifted her skirts
quite irresistibly
they melted in bliss
knowing it would happen
only once
in their time
