Passing Fancy

The trembling weak knees The second glance Into eyes that please Walking headlong into her trance Like a mazed rat All i can do is stare She sets the snare The bait is bit A melting smile A swirling hip A lingering fragrance Subdues the soul No Choice but to follow Ive lost control I watch her strut I watch her swerve As attraction builds So does my nerve Just as I move in I halt, To my Alarm This beauty is swept up In another man's arms
