Smoky Eyes of a Twilight Pretender (A Platter-Tude)
She had:
Heavenly shaded
smoky luring
twilight eyes.
Midnight sky’s
endless sparkling,
Heaven on Earth
raven hair.
She was:
My Prayer
lingering Enchanted
with Red Sails in the Sunset
the color of her luscious lips.
The Magic Touch hips,
legs that begged,
breasts that stressed
Man’s moral stand.
So it began:
Velvet worded
sugar voiced
temptation trickled
come-hither delights.
Harbor lights,
crested tide,
swimsuits tossed
floating on salt-air
Love affair;
crashing waves
against a rock
in unison.
We had become:
Evening shadows
gathering splendor
in Twilight Time.
Great pretenders
doing well.
No one could tell,
I was adrift
in a world of my own
and wholly knew
Only You. . .
and your smoky eyes
were never blind,
never pretended.
And so it ended:
You were on the ship
and I was on the shore.
I was the foolish one.
I’m sorry!
