She likes the shadows...

She likes the shadows...

darts in and out of 'em!

Hides herself when she wants

and shows up when it is time!

Weaving her smiles and frowns

in to the play of light and dark -

She hides her deepest desires

in the intricate maze of life!

But do we call 'em shadows

or just the absence of light?

Or is it light itself in guise

hidden from our sight?

Whatever the case maybe -

she's figured out the play too well!

That shadows exist only where

there is enough and more light!

So while she plays this game

of hide and seek with light...

Don't miss out the smile

that shines in light and shadow alike!

hooked on...

She got him hooked on to that benevolent smile!  Oh the sighs she launched outnumbered the clouds and the grains of sand put together!

Exaggeration, yes but that was the least of the "ex"-rated stuff she made him do. Excitement and exasperation were amongst the others!

Of course she had to just smile for his tail to wag him again. Such was her vice-like grip on him. That day she smiled some extra and he was hooked. She did not waste time to cast the line. She had another bait to catch.

The last thought that crossed his mind apart from the bubbles were her words when she'd ask him.. "would you wait for me with a-baited breath?"

Sigh!...

Oh how she sighs...

It was love at first sigh -

for me..and I don't know about her..

but I was high!

Soaring in that feeling...

she launches me into orbit -

it's a different kind of space science!

The way she inhales...

her body rising to n-th scale

I watch her reach the peak!

And from there, she exhales

sending me into a tizzy

of thoughts and gasps and goose bumps!

Reveling in this high...

I wait, chin resting on my hands

waiting for her to sigh!

Lipstick stains...

Couldn't help but notice

The gleam in her eyes

The dancing flames from the candles

throwing both a glow and a shadow on her face

that glows golden now...

Maybe radiating what she's inside -

or maybe not... it is for me to find out!

The evening glides smooth, just like her

I'd almost slip on her smile if not for the table...

As she leans forward, her hands on me,

I can smell her perfume 

and can almost hear the thud inside her heart.

I know it is going to be an eventful night.. 

not that I wasn't expecting it -

but this woman was different..

I would be bluffing if I said 

i wasn't worked up when i moved from table on to her lap!

But here I try to be measured, cautious...

Soon enough, it is time to throw caution to the wind

as she catches hold of me!

I can see, I am only inches away from those lips 

and I know am destined to wipe her lipstick clean tonight!

And that's just what happens 

as she wipes her lips on me and puts me aside..

And there, she walks away 

with that man who sat across the table!

Of course she leaves me with a lipstick stain to show...
