I watch you across the park
You walk with grace and poise
Your slim frame fit and tanned.
Under your shirt your breasts
Bounce in greeting and temptation.
Last night you cried on my shoulder
The pressure of living getting to you
Expectations abounding, results limited.
There are days when the tide of emotion
Sends you into a crazy spin.
Today you look reassured once again
Eyes focused on your prize
Your step deliberate as if nothing will stop you
And I wonder as I watch you
If anything in that purposeful gait includes me.
It was a deliberate ploy I know to seduce me
You slid quietly into my inner sanctum
Naked you allowed the water to cascade
With mindless effort down your breasts.
I could do little but engage as you planned.
I am but human, emotional at times,
Trying to understand your ups and downs.
You lead me through a bevy of personal passions
I want and need you more and more
Who knows what tomorrow will bring.
Across the park I see you bounce by
Gathering the stares and glances of the unfortunate.
I smile, knowing whose bed you head towards.
As if foreshadowing a blessed outcome
I shift comfortably in my pants.

This line really tugs at the heart Michael. So well done and I love the imagery of the bouncing breasts that is repeated as in the song great job!
Thanks Yves, Rose has selected a great song to start off her prompt schedule.
Absolutely =)
Love, love it! Who is the girl? What is their relationship, if any? You kept me hooked wanting to know how it would all play out 🙂
Thank you for your comment…yes well we shall see…….welcome to the menagerie you selected a great first song. I look forward to next weeks.
Happy to be a part of the magic 🙂
That’s an excellent way of putting it.
Nicely done.
Thank you Val.
Most welcome.
Oh my. I too would love to read how this story plays out, michael. Any chance? (Waiting with bated breath 😊 )
Hmmm…maybe Mandy, then again it could remain an exercise of the imagination….
There is both a sadness and a bit of humor to your piece.
Reminds me of a university campus and a prof and one of his students…
I had went in a different direction :
