Sighs

Cannes kissed skin,

but not by me

I crave the chance

to touch and take in

those little sighs, stolen,

not belonging to me,

but to the man

on your arm when you leave,

kiss on his cheek

not on my lips.

Jealousy does not strike

I’m not really

the envious type,

just a dreamer with desires

sparked by skin and smiles

sad words in your soft voice,

my own sad sighs,

I know what I’m missing.

I’m a woman of easy attractions

encouraged by continued affection,

you always take the seat

next to mine

though I always offer,

just to be sure

the connection is continued

if only for two hours

every two weeks

and I sigh as we break apart.
