Sweet scent
engaging
tranquilizing me
drawing me in closer
to her soul.

She whirls and twirls
above me
  captivating
    spellbinding
gliding through my world
like an angel
on wings of silk.

She leans forward
pressing toward me
eyeing me
seeing behind the mask
that I wear around her.

She whispers in my ear...
   "Thank you"
as I tuck a dollar bill
into her thong....

Well, now, that wasn't QUITE the ending I was expecting. Liked the line about her scent drawing you closer to her soul.

LMAO Chris! oh Men! Well written, not the ending that I had expected, but that's what makes it all the more hilarious.  Is this a poem written from experience, I wonder  
Hey, whatever turns your crank, at least it led you to write this funny piece!

Take care,

Such a sentimental and romantic beginning Christopher ... but what a great punchline at the end ... loved it!  

Best wishes,

Good writing, Chris...you left so little (and so much!) to the imagination.
