Party games

Her breath is hot in my ear1

Alcohol fuelled as we conspire2

She whispers3

"Let's get out of here; across the car lot and into the car"4

We make haste as we step back in time 5

To our long ago unforgotten youth6

Frantic the rush of returning teenage lust7

Eager our searching hands and breathless kisses8

Transported back to rose tinted years9

"Do you want too?" needlessly she asks10

A long moment’s angst......."Yes"11

A deep gut feeling and tautness grips my body12

Her tentative touch evokes involuntary muscle twitch13

Like a coursing electric surge 14

Charged with pleasure that brings such powerful thrills15

In the lot, teenagers again making out in borrowed wheels16

Cramped in the dim lit confines of the cab17

Raw passions are quelled18

By the sexual contortionists in the driving seat 19

Steamed up windows obscure the journey's view 20

Now the ride is over and safety brake applied21

It's time to pay the fare22

We both carry the guilt of revisited youthful pleasure 23

The heaviness of sexual scent hangs in the air 24

A silence consumes us, back across the lot25

They say you should never go back26

Perhaps it's true27

Rosy complexions smoothed out clothes and make do hair28

Re-entered party still in swing29

No second or knowing glances; greet us30

We have not been missed31

Sidled back to respective partners32

Furtive glances say enough as we keep our distance33

"Darling, where have you been?"34

"Oh, just catching up with a friend."35

Economical with the truth, how easily we lie36

Never destined to stay together, always to be apart37

We the guilty third party will always be38

Part time lovers 39

That is you and I40

And the party games we play
