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