Teach me

Teach me why it is that I am attracted to you


Is it your lightness in conversation 

That certain look, the cut of your dress

The toss of your head when you laugh

You’re, knowing smile and the sweep of your hair

Is that what catches my eye


But what do really I know about you, except for your attraction


You have maturity and seem to know what you want

With the ability to place me at ease

The pace is yours to set

The rules too

The game and venue is of your choosing


Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me


I am a little boy lost

I’m captivated

I am in lust with you

Lady of a certain age

Time has been a friend of yours


Revealing just enough to be economical


You have elegance and poise

Leaving me wanting more

My attention piqued

My inquisitiveness guaranteed

You have me at your heel


They say many a fine tune is played on an old violin


Teach me, turn this boy into a man

Let me be your beau that vibrates your strings

Together the tunes we can make

Teach me the rhythm, teach me the dance

Less of the old, I vote for mature



Lead me in love for it is a wicked game


That promises much and delivers less

Lead on in this dalliance, this stop in time

Please take me, use me now

Time is short and It may never be the same

Because of circumstance we are forbidden


Experience gained


Will be my gift to give in time

Shush! Don’t tell me your name

Don’t spoil the moment

I will always know you; now as you are

Remembered like the first taste of a fine wine


While there are such enchanting ladies as you


My world is a much richer place shared with you

Thank you for being my teacher

Our time shared entwined

Chronology and events dictate our departing

This student has graduated


Full honours to you
