The Man


Interesting, 
        was the man staring
at a painting with great enthrallment, and
I went and stood beside him, curious.
He was attractive and very appealing, 
and when he looked at me-  I gave him my 
     best come - hither look.
          Oh, he was captivating . . . 
I wanted to say something interesting, 
something very thought provoking ,
to entrap him in my allurement,
       but I just said hello . . . 
           I was rivited  to him, intrigued.
He smiled, amused, interested,
then said, the painting was spellbinding.
Oh, so charming and fascinating,  so
I tried to appear beguiling-
hoping he would take note of my beauty.
      He invited me for café.  (Oh that voice!)
           We had charisma and
our conversation was absorbing-
He was interesting and engrossing,  
and I was compelled to touch his hand . . . 
      Oh, when did I become a seducer,
           with lust, passion and desire?
Interesting.

Really nice, I could see this entire scene play out clearly and the ending was as captivating as the poet.
