Desultory Dalliances

To all the women I never loved

To all the strangers of summers past

To stolen glances underneath the night sky

To longing embraces forever denied

To love stories never written

To ghosts of chance forever hidden

To first kisses never tasted

To untold desires never sated

To knees never bended

To hearts never mended

To neck hairs never raised

To caressing never praised

To roses never bought

To forgiveness never sought

To regret and all her maidens

To remorse forever aided

Salute and goodbye, behold these beautiful lies.
