Benefits

 

Her fingers trembled as she typed the words,

"Have you ever heard of Friends with benefits?"

The heart jumps on the other side of the internet,

Completely stunned by what had just occurred.

 

She pushes on with the clumsy approach,

"I mean do you mind if I come to Lago Vista?"

His mind hesitates but the answer was instant.

At this time in his life he can't possibly say no.

 

Trepidation sneaks past the initial joy,

"Little Willie" is already counting the days.

This could get complicated in so many ways.

But now the gentleman becomes a boy.

 

The ground rules set, just a physical favor.

The friendship must survive at all costs.

An undisciplined heart and all is lost.

On this crucial point one cannot waiver.

 

A date is picked and plans are made,

The emotional roller coaster begins.

Celebration of life or wages of sin?

The consequences are carefully weighed.

 

The hearts aflutter when the day arrives,

Sights are seen and dinner is served,

Happiness calms the unsettled nerves.

Soon anticipation completely overrides.

 

A thousand miles to the house it seems.

An awkward silence eases in.

Both are anxious to begin.

Reality will replace the dreams.

 

In an instant the passion explodes,

Bodies dancing in the light of the lamp.

A gentle touch from an experienced hand.

One, two, three times the bareback is rode.

 

Caressing lips allowed to explore,

Areas that have been void of pleasure.

The conscious mind attempts to measure,

The ecstasy not known before.

 

A moment to blend into her essence,

But separation must occur.

He smiles as he looks back at her,

Face aglow and effervescent.

 

While time permits they repeat the act.

Each time it's easier to engage.

But soon comes time to turn the page.

The friendship still remains intact.

 

A sublte smile from the parting one.

He waves good bye, she blows a kiss.

Within a moment his thoughts are this,

From whom will the next invitation come?
