First Encounter

You walked towards me, shoulders rolling,
silently you paced,
those moon disc eyes intent, without a blink,
I stroked your back, caressed an ear,
in turn, you licked my face,
sandpaper tongue, a shade of brightest pink.
Formalities over, you lay and rolled onto your back,
tickled your tum, you rocked from left to right,
grabbing an arm you nipped my hand,
playful, not an attack,
expression on your face of pure delight.
Then suddenly you jumped up,
turned, and shot into a tree,
kept calling me 'till I was out of range,
but deep inside my heart I knew
that we could never be,
because, compared to other girls, you're strange........

G'day Viv ... you didn't write in her address. Here I was thinking it was a climbing labrador, until I realized there must have been a fancy dress party going on - this poem is a ripper Viv - Lindsay
