Affair is no harm.

What is so called affair,

The flirting in secrecy?

Seeing, pursuing,

Assignation,

Exchange of words,

Benevolent deeds,

Barter of gifts,

Telephone calls,

Clandestine meetings,

Stolen kisses,

Numerous love-letters,

Heavy breathing,

Pining, saddening.

In between masturbations.

that’s all, no more.

No adultery, however.

I flirted with many

Whom I loved,

But slept not with any.

It is a known history.

I slept with a few,

With whom I had no romance.

It is a buried history.

An affair is more rewarding

to mind and soul.
