Creeping.....

she was a sensual mistress who celebrated life on the wild side

her eye lashes were long and her eyes dark and heavy

her lips full and painted blood lust red

she became a metamorphisis of new york from day to night

as she strolled outside she passed a few women chattering like magpies

women in packs were dangerous entities

she gave a smoky laugh

instantly she had a thousand impressions rushing by her senses

many people tried to change her but failed

as she crossed the street her legs gave way she fell and cut her head

outta no where a stranger approached her and offered her a hand

to her amazement it was the wife of the man she was having an affair with

she could hear the lazy rise and fall of her voice

she concentrated on her basic manners

as much guilt had set in she enjoyed the fluid ride a married man offered

a thousand warnings jangled in her brain but were ignored

if only she could give herself to him for one more reckless moment to the heat to the need

this was more like a warning

this was enough to close of a call no more taken men or midnight rendevous
