Sweet Surrender

In low cut shirts and mini-skirts
she pesters passions through the day,
but my advances she averts
while still continuing her flirts,
she leaves me longing love’s ballet.

But daylight wanes and fades to night,
the thoughts of lustful love turn tender,
and with the bedroom drapes drawn tight
she wryly winks and lowers light,
and gives herself in sweet surrender.

ahhh then she is only a lady of the night. Too preoccupied in daytime, as many of us are. Very nice one, John!

Hi John, What a sweet and passionate tale you have penned. I thought the girl in the story was playing to hard to get however the last stanza shows she liked him too. Well done. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis

Thanks for your comments, Alexis, some people just prefer to wait until dark, perhaps hiding in the shadows... John

You can get down to it when you wanna, you just pretend to be a mild-mannered CPA to hide your other identity. Oh, I'm getting carried away, teasing, but serious about Mr. Romance Passion coming out in poems when he's in the mood. This was seductive in delivery and content as handled by a sensual pen. I'm awake now. Hugs ... CayCay

While I am a CPA I never said I was mild-mannered ;) Thanks for your support, CayCay, I always enjoy your comments. Glad I was able to wake you up this morning. John
