Fondly Speaking

Those who have digressed
From my intrusions
I still speak fondly
Of all memories
I made with them
At the heights of discovery

The nights spent
Dipping flesh
Into unchartered waters
With men
I chased
And won over
As friends or lovers

The right we had
To behave
However
We fancied
Existed
Because we were young
And life had only
Just begun

Subliminal consciousness
Made us
Apart of more than
The present
But perceptions
On how things played out
Whether single or attached
The golden egg hatched

Showdowns
Between guilt
And what's left
Prove decisions
Are best made
On a full stomach

Fondly speaking
Life has been great
With much to relate
To family
Still to come
