The Mistake (3 ratings) by Jessica Macintyre
No boy can stop the sun
No girl can steal the moon
No wise lover may cun
The night to be over soon
The passion lasts a moment
The memory never fades
Yet, without heaven's consent
The love was never made
The steamy swoop of sweaty palm
The moist kiss of lust
Caress the shuddering maid a calm
And keep her lips forever shushed
Two lovers bind together
In silken sheets of blue
The touch of peacock feather
From whence the swift night flew
Love the two believe they share
In confusion's mighty sway
And in the morn, without a care
Satan works his crafty ways
Without a trace the boy is gone
No note, or rose, or meaning
The poor maiden sings a forlorn song
For her future she is seeing
The young, fair, beauty she once was
The wealth and name she bore
Vanquished now simply because
She's a slut and wanton whore
The kiss he blew, still warm and wet
Upon her cheek so fair
Cools and dries, yet makes her sweat
Because no longer will she bear
A name of honour, hope, or joy
Since her soul can not be pure
She slept with a foolish boy
A disease without a cure
The boy, of course, knows not his crime
The thoughts of her are fleeing
Her innocence, he stole, with kind
And soft and gentle feelings
His buddies give him shouts of praise,
On him honours they bestow
Because he braved the women's maze
And bagged a pretty hoe
Unlike his partner, he has won
For his conquering quest of lust
The boy is worshipped, the holy son
The girl is less than dust
He will never the know the pain,
The heartbreak or the anguish
That the poor girl must contain
For one night of love so selfish
