Seduction On the Quay

He caught the faint scent of perfume as she walked by The treacly fragrance of gardenias caused him to sigh She moved with grace and poise that caught his eye Her sultry wink made him quiver at what it might imply She walked towards the beach, near Harper's Quay He followed at a distance on this sunny Summer day A bit of a stalker, he seemed to me, looking for prey Should I warn her? A quandary to me. Yay or nay? This sort of thing never happens in this quaint town I watched him; and on my face, I imagined a frown Wind ruffled her platinum hair, her eyes, soft brown That guy moved in, and I was going to bring him down She welcomed him with a flirty smile of recognition Seems it's a game they play; the seduction rendition where he offers a proposition; she nods in submission Do I deserve a penance for my erroneous suspicion?

No you don't, weirdos are everywhere and its always best to err on the side of caution, well written Jenna. Enjoy your weekend. Tom

That is true, Tom, but these two are a couple who like to play a game of "Come and get me." Thank you. It's a bit chilly but I'll enjoy the weekend despite it...and I hope yours is fantabulous.

Victor, age doesn't have a choke hold on our thoughts, and not always on our body. You enjoyed this one, so you're not THAT old. Hugs.

Sounds like a winner! Mine I wrote after watching a show with royal court intrigue, poisonings, lies and murder.
