Madeleine

 She Sits 

Alone

in

A Corner

of

The Bar

Sipping

from

Time 

to 

Time

A Glass

of

Red Wine

Nervously Surveying

Us All

For a fleeting  Moment

Her Eyes 

Pierce mine


Everything changes..

My senses

Run Amok

The Rose'

I am Sipping

seems

To Taste

Sweeter

upon 

My lips

It's delicate fizz

tickles

My Throat


I feel woozy....

I notice

She 

is 

Squeezing

between

Tables


Coming

in

My Direction

Bumping

into

Someone's Chair

She apologises
a soft accent 


My Face Flushed

She seats Herself

Next 

to 

Me


I have been here

before

On Dangerous Ground...

I fidget

My bottom well away

from 

Hers

Shoulder to shoulder

I refrain

 

from

"Do you come here often"

She smiles confidently

My Guard disarmed...


"Do I know you"

She asks

Face to Face

Her features

Open

and

Androgynous


I am Lost

in

Intimacy....


We Kiss

My lips

have

Nowhere else

to 

Go...

In 

this 

Aperitif

of

Sensual Craving

Our thirst

for

Each Other

Satisfied

Giggling

like

Adolescent Lovers

Our unspoken Bond

Sealed
