The Voyeur He paced a bit Walked to and fro Seemingly uneasy Who would know? She had caught His eye that day Sitting at a table In a conference room bay She had age But wore it well A bit of slender In her dwell Not one word Was shared between Him and her, his Conference Room Queen From his vantage He could view well The length of leg And something swelled Was it hope? Or profound delight? A wish for more Than just eyesight? He was married! And happy, too! Then why did this woman Spark something new? Now each day At quarter past one He waited, impatient To see if she’d come Then there’d she be, His Conference Room Queen His to view alone A solitary dream Would he advance? Ask her name? Change his life? Or stay the same? He thought of his Sweet wife at home He’d promised her, He’d never roam But here his thoughts Were shred anew. God, what he’d give To own this view! But common sense Overhauled his mind And he thanked God He wasn’t blind. 3 January 2002 |

*sigh* I'm not sure how to respond to this poem. It is so real and true to life...yet I feel sadness for his wife if he does follow this dream queen. You weave well a story that happens often. **hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

very honest poem, the grass always seems greener until you realize it all has to be mowed.... My perception of truth will somehow never quite be the same..and so I write. |

I've always heard we guys can look but not touch, presuming the existence of significant others or happy in a relationship. |
