Mercury

He walks into the room like liquid mercury
Deadly yet mesmurizing to the eyes
He molds into every woman he touches
She will ever feel his smooth maleness

He seems to be placing orders for the night
Who will get to grace his bed of pleasures?
Tomorrow he slithers away like the spineless
disease he really is; life shatters around his wake.

A lovely mesmerising piece it makes me feel good as a man - I'd better wind and slither away ! But you girls are better at it than us - well the mesmerising bit anyway !

Oh, Doris, I have met some people who "slither away" as well. Deception is their art and once their thirst is quenched, they leave with no concern for those they have hurt. Your poem and you go to my favorites today before I make my big move. Thanks for all your support in these past months. Love, Carolyn
