Silent Stalker
Between fractured frames she watches
glancing slyly at her prey
She wants to announce her mission
Pounce between the billiards fray
He visits his beer, Dutifully unaware
The beads of condensation rolling into wet rings.
The table empty but for the water stains
Casually conversing with his friends
Focused on the perfect shot, she taunts him
He does not notice her stare
Transfixed upon his every breath
he orders another beer
The words he speaks are empty
She will fill them with her wares
she stops to say hello, And envisions his embrace
He hugs her as a friend , unaware of her lace.
She knows his every thought and twitch
she feels her own connection
still waiting she will be
to vye for his attention.
One day he will notice,
Stand up and pay attention
The thing she does not realize
is the cuffs are for her detention
Once past the gravel
Lazily crunching forward
through the autumn leaves
drifting down the message
Just telling ' let it be'
one foot forward and then the next
my shoes they carry me
I left behind the worries
I left behind the pleas
Some where ahead it beckons me
entices me to travel
it says the reward is everything
once past the gravel
forest opens up to reeds
water for miles and
the canoe waits impatiently
pole and tackle I clime aboard
Paddle softly just offshore
a ridge under here, I know there is more
I plunk the line and sit back
true music sings to me as I set my hook
Steady reeling, concentration
pull and strain as the rod bends
scooping with the net
today I have truly earned my means.
once past the gravel .
The game and we
when the sun goes down
you and I together can sing
magical melodies and harmonies
with beauty and light shower we
Sparkling dewdrops of passion
drip slowly down as we dance
endless rhythms of love
with little more than air around us
Breathing heavily together
panting like puppies playing in the heat
tongues dancing like ribbons
touching in the breeze
we lay aside another hour
and enjoy the musky scent
and we take it slowly
the game and we
when the sun goes down
you and I together can sing
magical melodies and harmonies
with beauty and light shower we
Smiles
Smile smolders beauty
like lava and the heat wisps
with echoed tears behind the eyes
flickering sunsets on eh horizon
soulful spirits search the sky
like butterflies chasing fireflies
magnetic attractions to the flame
engulf those that feel the pain
smirks signal mischief
hidden playfully behind brown eyes
like kittens playing tag
between bushes or tickled feet
generous grins echo on velvet lips
like seductive ear whisperings on a romantic evening
touching softly the tell tales
tales of taboo nights and satin sheets
