Journey Concluded.
*
*
Not wanting to dally and by now
truly psyched I adopted a simper
of mysterious come hither
learnt from wry Mona,
but Lisa be blowed, I needed
to focus his eyes on ME.
Emergency chemistry at the ready
did what I expected
as he suddenly lifted in welcome
a heavy-ringed hand.
I sizzled with hope at seduction\'s
success and sashayed
my hips in his macho direction.
*
*
How was I to know he looked over
my shoulder to she
who had entered and brazoned
her flounce toward
his intimate grin as he waved.
By then beside him and groping
for something to say I asked
for a light but had no cigarette.
so sidled away with my bravado
hiding in wile\'s unattainment.
Beaten perhaps to the post I asked
my inner-ego was the show
of below-the-belt salacious behaviour
the best way
of snaring a stranger.
Blinded by trying to find Mr Right I made
being flighty so conceivable
and my journey to naked coercion could
not have been plainer,
yet covertly
I wept for another lost dream.
*
*
But journeys lead somewhere I think
as I hitch up my skirt a few inches.
A quite handsome lad had insisted,
in the last café that he buy me a drink
*
*
so widen my tactics I will.
