There is danger
in friendship
man and woman
friendship
without regulation
without careful monitoring
self and outside
an inherent danger
a natural disaster
We didn't figure that out
until it was almost
too late
confiding in each other
the most intimate
sharing stories of love
and lovemaking
discussing the hunt
revealing ideas, plans
suggestions to try
to reel them in
Somewhere in the conversation
we crossed the line
tiptoed across the border
you revealing what drives you insane
me whispering what ideas have yet to be tried
Then silence
while we considered
thought about
this corner we had back ourselves in
Shouldn't it have been obvious
that we were sharing too much
shouldn't we have noticed
that the borders were becoming blurred
curiosity was taking control
and mischievous desire would soon
dominate us both
You put it out there
stated the obvious that lingered in the air
just one day and one night
friends sharing friendship
in all its form
I thought on it
seriously considered it
but, fighting myself,
I had to decline
because how could friendship
ever be the same
how could passion not
burn wildly like a spark on a thin fuse
quickly consuming and destroying
leaving us charred and burned
and our friendship
nothing more than ruined ashes

You have expressed the destruction of love between two friends when the line has been crossed. If the boundaries aren't respected then anything could happen... but in the moment after the passion, regrets and sometimes resentment tend to take over and ruin the foundation of a friendship.
The risk isn't worth taking, been there done that.
Well said!
this is wonderfully true.
a terrfic poem! I like the end. Thought she would accept him.
I never actually considered friendship to be dangerous. new point of view for me. :)
