She met his gaze with a coy smile
They were seeing each other after quite a while
She longed for his gentle touch
Overwhelmed, a bit too much.

He held her hand in his own
She let out a deep satisfied moan
Kissing her hand, pulling her close
Lost in her eyes, his movements froze.

The fragrance of rose petals in her soft flowing hair
This wonderful woman how could he share
Cupping her face, feeling the bliss
He gave her a raw passionate kiss.

She melted in his warm embrace
Removing the curly locks from her face
The world had come to a standstill
They felt the pulse they felt the thrill

They slipped into their secret zone
Brought to reality by a noisy phone.
She looked at it with contempt, yet stunned
He was supposed to be away, her husband.

She left the place without a word
She felt just like a caged bird
A woman trapped in a loveless marriage
But to escape she had no courage.

Returning home to her lovely kids
The love she yearns, her marriage forbids
And life went on just the same
She still carries her husband's name.
