Predators at the Library
Pursed red lips,
survey the silent scene,
educated intelligence,
barely covers oozing sensuality.
In this hall of knowledge,
all that I seek to know,
leans upon a bookshelf,
a shoosh, locked and loaded.
In her glasses panes,
I catch my own reflection,
caught staring once more,
I smile that of a predator.
Mine is overshadowed,
by the licked lips and grin,
of an apex, about to have,
their favorite meal.
She turns and heads to the door,
silver skirt sways, like a cats tail,
on the prowl,
I sit and wait.
I am the end of the student animal
as it slowly squeezes out the door,
I expect to just leave with the rest,
but the door closes and locks me in.
A waterfall of raven hair spills down,
I catch my reflection once again
words start to come out of my mouth,
a single finger touches my lips, shoosh.
