PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

you

from so far

manage

so easily

to sit close

reminiscent of

a sweet sharing of two intimates

over coffee

say in a small cafe

mentally

I am not quite that composed

though

still

I lean in

just a fraction more

and oh so tenderly

nibble at the well prepared sweet

and somehow yet today

this very water colored moment

the bait does not seem quite so tasty

as it did the day before

the mouse has matured

to spot the illusion of its good fortune

for what it really is

an ugly, little, deceptive trap

that harms its natural curiosity

far more than it could ever suppose to

entice

even one precious morsal of affection......
