I saw your liquid thoughts
The wicked lesson taught
As your cruel mind plays
Inside with wicked ways
As you ignored my pleas
Drowning in a million seas

I listened to your cold voice
Hearing I had no other choice
And I fell from a higher place
Burnt with the memory of your face
As you ignored my pleas
Drowning in a million seas

Billows arise and the roar resonates
Vivid scarlets desiring to dance
Gazes morphing into perilous spears
Irises directed at the delicate lifeline
Another, take another deep breath
Hush your throaty screams
Tighten the shackles of your demons

'til the sun rose beautiful,
        I said,
God, take me.

Then, like at 4:30 this
        sweet
redhead, smiled at me.

Until our eyes, mine and hers,
           met
at like 4:30 I said , God,
           take me.

You realize I wasn't serious, eh?
             I  said,
that euphemistically, hey?

Now that the sun rose red ,
            my luck,
turned for the better, Sir!

I admit blasphemy. I admit
       I might
have been hasty, in my request.

"Ohhhhhh....!" he noticed
she was

wearing
the shortest skirt he had

ever seen

( a belt masquerading as
a skirt )

&

that she was reading the poetry
of Victor Hugo.

"...the forest has rusted
in the light and the rain..."

he quoted to the air

jealous of the sunlight
touching her hair.

"...le soleil et la pluie ont rouillé la forêt..."
her voice mirrored his

"Ahhhhhh...you know Hugo
and his poetry?"

"Oh if you knew Hugo
like I knew Hugo!"

he sang shamelessly.

She laughed
in French.

He laughed
in Irish.

"There's nothing
like the original!"

she crossed & re-
crossed

her legs
cutting through his thoughts

<<<<<scissors through paper.

"Only in translation!"
he shamefully admitted.

"Ohhhh...he has to be
experienced in the French!"

He tried not to stare at her
elegant-pale-pink-ivory-with-cream-applique-lace-trimmed

Janet Reger.

"...ta bouche sur ma bouche et
tes yeux sur mes yeux..."

she stared
into him.

"....your mouth on my mouth and
your eyes upon my eyes..."

the kiss only an instant away from
happening.
