NOW GONE THE BUZZ
More lust than love
More greed than need
A risk too far
A stolen kiss
A snatch at bliss
A chance to fly
To challenge fate
Perhaps to catch
That passing star
Danger denied
And fear defeated
Replaced by want
By hunger
Longing
Oh, the need
Heedless of falling
Angst riven
Success driven
The wire so near
The fire so strong
Fingers knuckle-burnt
Dipped in greed
The risk taken
The book not played by
Rules deformed
to suit my purpose
The world being mine
To redesign
One night of passion
Now gone the buzz
Regret came later
As it does
