Got a light? This dame wasn't bashful I struck a match She sucked on the Chesterfield Inhaled once She stuck it into the Molten Lava Cake desert The butt wore a lipstick tiara I sipped my rose Wishing it was a draft It was her party, doubt she knew what a draft was She was on in years Still had that little girl face Unbecoming on a matronly woman Too much lipstick Too much rouge Laughed too raucous Tried to set me at ease With ribald jokes Cliched, well-worn, ribald jokes She gave me her best come-on look It was frightening I smiled It was her party It was her play Society dame looking for rough trade Could get nasty Could be that is what the lady wants Have you ever killed anyone? Her voice was whiskey gravely never mind the rose Eyes were glazed and her mouth trembled In anticipation to my answer "Probably no one you know," I gave her that She suppressed a smile Would you pour the wine? It was not a request The creature needed bedtime stories Her emancipated chest rose and fell rapidly Anticipation will do that I poured the wine She placed a hand on my stubble I hadn't shaved on purpose I think I would like the street life, she whispered conspiratorially A look of fearful excitement passed over her face High color rose into her cheeks Studied me closely So closely, so intimately Goosebumps made like the Indy 500 up and down my spine A shudder shook me She mistook for animal magnetism Made her day Sometimes being a macho Private Eye Means you have to go undercover I was dreading this night "Whoever is not in his coffin and the dark grave let him know he has enough."-Robert Goolrick from "Reliable Wife" |

Oh, I like this. Being mysterious does give one a really appealing aura, eh?  Enjoyed. -Trina |

Yes, I do believe that it does, Trina. I wrote a novel, Ram Slade; Shamus last year and in the process composed a few poems concerning it. This is one of them. Thank you for reading me and commenting. "Whoever is not in his coffin and the dark grave let him know he has enough."-Robert Goolrick from "Reliable Wife" |
