THE AFFAIR

He took her heart
from behind her breast
and held it in his hand,
he kissed it softly
and held it close and said
"I understand."

So
She felt loved
and safe and secure
and not alone in the world.
She had someone to
hold her close
and to make her heart
unfurl.

To kiss her lips
to take them between
the two lips of his own,
to wrap his arms
around her bust
to make her feel at home.

To make her feel
loved
in the depths of her heart
in a way her husband never did,
To make her feel loved
in the depths of her heart
in a way that only he, would,
or ever could.
