The Journey.

Fay Slimm.

 

 


The Journey.

 

I saw him again just prior to summer.

Allure shook itself teasingly
out of his smile.

I silently almost expired as he sauntered
towards me

with ill-concealed macho-ease

which pulled me bodily behind him into
the coffee-shop.

I stopped to repeat
under my mantra-soaked breath " I can,
because I think I can"

and the love-trap cell door snapped shut.

        One of the best parts of being in this MPS group is the pleasure of seeing new postings from poets i have come to respect for the quality of their many poems i have read. In your work today i am delighted for i haven't seen you produce anything like this before and i love it!

        Well that last line is a real hook! All your readers will be waiting with baited breath for the poor girl's downfall and heartbreak now.... or have you twists and turns the poor girl will wrestle with as you tease us into submission?

        hmmm breath baited!

                  It is scary, the trapping effect of the appealing gender. Loved your description.
