Rev. Lord C.M. Bechard

The Art of Your Exit

You leave like a secret,

slow and deliberate,

a whispered promise

traced in the curve of your hip.

 

I could drown in the rhythm

of your retreat;

each step a verse,

each glance a hook,

pulling me deeper

into the sin of watching you go.

 

Your dress clings like a confession,

your shadow a silhouette of temptation.

I’m no saint,

but I’ll kneel for the way

you tease the air,

the way you let the door

linger just a breath too long.

 

Hate to see you go,

but love;

oh, how I love...

to watch you leave.
