Poem
Remember our High School classes? Watched you fidget with your glasses. Slender fingers twirled chestnut hair, enough to make me stop and stare. I caught that twinkle in your eye, envisaged stroking supple thigh. Then you flashed me your trademark smile, made perseverance all worthwhile. Recall when snuck into your house, not wake your folks, a quiet mouse. Left your spare key under a rock, so in I'd come at twelve o'clock. I'd savour watching you asleep, green eyes squeezed shut whilst counting sheep. Snuggled under cotton bedspread, know you like left side of the bed. It's been so long, the time is right, our passion soars like doves in flight. I just know we're on the same page, let's move things on to the next stage. From the rooftops I'll proudly shout, for in the end, true love will out. Hearts beat as one, we're meant to be, what do you say, please marry me? ~ ~ ~ "What the hell, creep?! I scarce know you! Twisted confessions make me spew! Tainted by debased disorder, can you spell 'restraining order'...?" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 8 syllables on every line - checked with howmanysyllables. 12 November 2017 I used a more simplistic approach than my usual style as I was trying to put myself into the mind of a stalker - what's going through his head and how would he try articulating that to the target of his obsession? Hope it worked. And now I need a shower... urgh! For the "Stalker" contest, sponsored by Silent One. (2nd Place)
