Windows


Glass not mirrors
Do they hide what you think they should
With just the sheers pulled
Or do they show enough to keep me in the neighborhood

Along dark streets I stride
Looking for windows
Where people try to hide
Wearing almost nothing

Up ahead what do I see
But a light shining like sunshine
Coming thru the trees
The neighbors yard is safe harbor for me

As I sit back with glee
I watch a young lady
Undress for me
Little does she know

That she is putting on a show
Or does she
She stand in front of the mirror
Seeing all she can see

Watching as much as I can stand
I slowly sneak away
I hear someone yell at me
Hey mister, you want to come in with me

Hum....seems like shades AND shutters are needed...

reminds me of a song from the 60's....

wait a moment, the title will come to me....

took a walk and passed your house
late last night
all the shades were pulled and drawn
way down tight...


yeah, that song!!

you know you should invest in a set of binoculars or at least some camouflage gear. enjoye the read and remember next time to also watch out for the cops.

where black will never meet white

Window shopping pays off, I guess. Good read.

Brian....thank you for your input. IT wasn't the cops that caught me. It was the girl.
I had fun doing this one. Glad you enjoyed it.
