Stranger!

It was a cool night

the pavement still wet from an earlier rain,

The moon was high in the sky

now shining bright! that indescribable light.

The streets were empty!

lined with bars, restaurants and coffee houses,

inside there’s bustling action and then it happen.

The unmistakable clacks of high heels

stabbing concrete.

I couldn’t see her complete,

in the shadows across the street.

Wanting more if able while sitting at my table

click a flash of light!

that cherry glow of her cigarette, our eyes met.

She moved into the light

in front of the bar now glowing at night,

Her dark auburn hair,

those red rose colored lips, I’m transfixed.

Gleaming at every inch of her slender body

she flashed a smile then flicked her cigarette!

I accept

Moving toward her like a predator!

I was hungry and demanding more

Her playful smile turned to apprehension!

my burning passion instigated that situation.

I moved right into her space

not a word was said

our eyes were in a tug of war in stead.

This was naked aggression

her breast pulsated with anticipation

Then she parted her lips

her wet tongue beckon come get this

So I drew in a deep breath

to catch the scent of her hair

I’m traumatized I doubt if she even care
