I Met a Soldier In a Bar
Turning,
at the last second.
I catch the briefest flicker of your smile through the crowd.
Like lighting - on this cloudy and
wind-swept afternoon - it thrills me
to my soul.
I wonder. I wander through my lust. I picture your body,
naked and pure. I long to touch it, to taste it,
to find pleasure in it’s perfection. To find reprieve
in your arms. A dangerous and delicious endeavor.
Swiftly, I pull myself from this longing.
You are moving toward me. A generous
glittering in your eyes making my hope a
true and tangible thing. A wink, a nod
and I know that you are mine.
I move toward the door and you are at my side.
