PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I could have understood the initial attraction

taking a day or two

but three little minutes

come now, there must be some law not yet created

for breaking such emotional gravity

still one question keeps popping into my head

How?

the idea of such intense obsession over another person

was/is close to that of preposterous

why when he caught me staring and outrageously winked

back I could have cussed

good, hard and long

my opinions may seem quite negative but even more so

they are strong

danger has never come into any romantic experience

I've ever had before

I just couldn't help but wonder who's after him

and what ever for

then he removed his disheveled hat and I stared from

where I sat

long over flowing hair spilled down his back

( you see, on a man I hate long hair)

and I very nearly verbalized that self loathing crack

but I refrained

for it just wouldn't be fair

after all , the man/god doesn't know me

it would make me look petty

and petty is not my style

I'm more the, 'Let's be friends forever instead of lovers for a little while'

but not so with this Montana man

I was ready to skip passed the friendship part for a

chance in the pan

do you know what I mean?

195 pounds on 6 feet 3 inches of man burnished, ready

and lean

ah , just the way I like it

tall, handsome and unforgettably fit

Damn, what's that I see

a gold wedding band

sitting snugly on his sculpted left hand

ah well, that's that I suppose

he's not for me

hi ho silver I say  let's get away from here........
