A Cougar's Musings...

by Aaliyah James

O sweet 23...
What you gonna give me?
Are you gonna give me your virginity?
That’s not enough...
My body once hungry
Is now silenced and still...
You may excite it
If you will...
But my soul
My weary, impoverished,
Malnourished, twisted soul...
You could begin by fixing it,
Making it whole.

Your unseen eyes
Your unused ears
Your unwritten touch
And untuned hands
Your unfelt heart
And unmade the mould.
Come over then and hold
Me...
I could use your romance.

Your young trust,
Your innocence,
Your willingness to explore,
Your joy at undressing,
Your wild joy at adventure
With an older married woman.

I could use your beliefs
I could use your thrills at using my body.
I could use your laughter and joy
I could feed on your spirit like a leech
Drawing out life and letting it flow into me.

I could use my 23 year old
But I'm too tired...
I'm not 31 - nor 61
I'm just too old...
To even let you have fun.
