My Stalker

Eyes, burning into me;
Leaving shivers as they strike
Then look away.

Anger, hanging around me;
Chokingly thick in the air
Like a steamy summer smog.

Movement, quickening near me;
Stalking my ever motion-
A puma awaiting its prey.

Sound, slamming through me;
Warning that the time
Is now at hand.

Okay, Dear, I'm done now.
You may have the bathroom.

It was written with a poetic turn..kind of a gotcha that makes the reader think they know exactly what direction the poem is going and changes in its ending.

My hubby is ever so impatient if i get there first to get ready, and then, there's the mornings that he gets up late and decides to take one of his unheard of long showers... Oh the joys of sharing the bathroom with the opposite sex. Women just push each other over and share the mirror. LOL
