A JOURNEY WITHOUT DESTINATION

Too far down the road
have we travelled
in too short a span of time
No turning back now
the engine has whirred
into motion

My innuendo
and subtle overtures
becoming more brazen
by the moment
your shy, awkward
and gently yielding responses
released race horses
into my blood

What started out as a
spark is now
an engulfing flame

My cup of erotica
offered to you
is mixed with uncertainty
and crawls
with guilt

Did I need to
steer this unsullied
relationship
down a complicated
path
of uncertainty
to a point of no return
and no arrival

The title fits this poem like a glove. The internal commotion caused by an unsullied relationship expressed profoundly.

Hello Leonard

I found a typo, I believe, line 17 the word AND should be AN, if I'm reading the thought pattern right, LOL!! You have captured a good theme here and the poem is very readable!
