Hush! Hush! Hush!

For no one else knew but a chosen few.

We met at the tennis court.

I finally saw you

You smiled as you approached.

Oh, that dimple!—It melted my heart.

Thank God

Not an awkward silence was our start

You told a hundred stories,

I still managed to listen—

For your pitchy sexy voice

Made my body and soul weaken

A fancy meal from the streets

We shared, with two bottles of tea.

But first we sought shelter

Under the arms of an ancient tree

Summer withered the grass

And made the sky starless and dark;

Forget the tree!

We sat in the middle of a well-lit park.

You smelled my right arm.

I twitched for I was sweaty.

I touched your back. Wet.

I wiped it with my favorite hanky.

With your left thumb,

You removed the sweat droplet near my right eye;

While I, with my right hand,

Slowly caress your left thigh

We talked and laughed

About almost everything,

While we silently pray,

For time’s pendulum to stop swinging

Then I told you to forgive

My little surprise—

A petite offering,

Blueberry cheesecake slice

At a quarter before nine,

We bought a drink to wet my lips.

And then as we waited for a ride home,

I shyly put my hands on your hips.

You called a taxi

And gave the driver commands;

Inside we sat down

And held each other’s hands

Traffic you may have hoped,

While I, an accident—such selfish imagination.

Time is of the essence.

We enjoyed each other until my train station.

When the cab stopped, a final kiss I gave

To express how much I really love you;

Yes. Such perfect way to end

Our first sweet secret rendezvous
