Beyond Reproach
She senses a strange feeling in her heart,
less than full-blown and yet more than a thought.
It's not quite love, but it could be its start,
yet it's hard to pin down; it shifts a lot.
Sensations that make her giggle inside
get stored in her vault of secret wishes.
There, sensual feelings get amplified,
like mud between your toes when it squishes.
She gradually lights up with a smile,
fantasizing about her first lover.
And leaving reality for a while,
she seeks feelings she's yet to discover.
She searches her heart for the telltale signs,
that hope is monitoring love's approach.
And yet, she'll not step across certain lines,
for her reputation's beyond reproach.
