My Secret of Hide-Away

[SadLuckDame]

She was ripe for it--
"I'll kiss your lips
once, then twice or by the by.
Do you find it offensive?
I'll keep polite,
if ever you ask me
to withhold attentions."

He hadn't time for courtesy,
"It's after hours--
I'll not find you've wandered
to someone else."
His chin lifted up strong,
just like his mug shot.

Behind-the-scenes
he placed a hand in her hair,
the other embraced her waist.
There was a swell.

The bar-tender asked him of her,
but he shrugged.
And that was it.
"What are you about?”
went her. Then he said,
"Darling, I'm complicated.
Nothing fancy, let's go,
all the thugs are out."

It didn't matter,
they'd not muck their night.
She with her inveteracy
had arranged a pressed
clover in his front pocket.

Perdida, thanks much girlie. Me too. It just plays out like that in my head, some days. I just watch it, then write it in the same fashion.

Hey Barry, yes, their insanity but they'd still kiss. Kiss to make-up, mostly. My first poetry to read was Jim. He'd caught me when I was but innocent.

I like the conversational tone...particularly fond of :

His chin lifted up strong,
just like his mug shot. .....good stuff....

nicely done - you dance on the knife edge
of the tale and leave the rest for us to
fill in.

Thanks very much saw and mb.
I'm rather fond of the mug shot, too.
