The Predator pretty little hate dance groovin’ to devilish music in the coldness of my heart sinister lyrics of love’s betrayal spilling from my lips with each spiteful verse’s start sexual predator stalking new territory ugly floodlights flash my whiplash grin a wolf in sheep’s clothing sensing my next kill adjusting my disguise, I start to close in my prey turns to greet me with her effervescent smile stopped short, I falter at her greeting heart race in my throat my senses warn danger glancing back a moment, thoughts of retreating caught in her eyes her spotlight is upon me all composure gone, unsure of what to say no longer the hunter as her beauty weakens me I shake my head and slowly walk away |

doreen, Here I come! A cheesy pick up line and I'm lookin' for love! lol Seriously, thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. It's funny because the events that prompted me to write this poem proved to me that for all of my frustation with relationships of the heart, I am unable to stoop to the level that so many "predators" do. Hey, that's something to smile about!  )Sven, So true my friend, so true... although in this case, I wasn't "had" as much as I was "seen right through". )Temptress, I like the turn this one took too ). Thank you! |
