A Polite Affair

"An affair can happen..."

Articulations of politeness
share thoughtful warm expressions,
display purposeful kind gestures,
begin sure diverse progressions.

Articulations of politeness
complement immaculate ties,
construct webs of clever pretext,
balance truth with pending lies.

Articulations of politeness
beguile those unexpected
to abandon sacred pledges
of bonds once close-protected.

Articulations of politeness
push beyond a scarlet letter,
penetrate past what is probable,
lock lust in explicit fetter.

Articulations of politeness
craft a promising situation,
mask temporary base intentions
in momentary serene elation.
