The Mistress

Thankfully number two, she’s contented with it
Hides when the landlord comes around to feel smart with the game
Endless calculations and planning, giving unfaithfulness a honey taste

Master strategist in creating spare time no matter how little
In order to steal and passionately enjoy what she doesn’t deserve
Shares the comfort and heartbeat of another without any bother
Theft of the body and emotions, becoming another woman’s problem
Romance becomes raw, athletic with the flavours of adrenaline
Emotions may set it, then the pleasure gradually progresses, she
Sows immensely in trying to beat the actual owner
Seemingly to stop being the accessory, the sharer and the spare.

Very true verse having low self worth makes ones life very hard, no matter how it comes about we should fight to believe [for it's true - we are as good as anyone else - can be - if we'd only believe] Thanks for so often stopping by my verses. Light & Love

This truly speaks for all the 'mistresses' out there. If only a lot of aging men going through 'mid-crises' could feel the same; as you do and think twice about courting a woman who is 'worthy' in his mind to use. Great imagery and being a great read it was a pleasure to delve in and read between your lined word/work! Thanks for sharing....didee

A top7 rating for this excellent poem, Funom! Number two appears to have it all, but in reality she has nothing! I can sense dark clouds creeping up! // paul

These relationships can be so alluring, until they are not! Trouble waits around the next corner, still the heart wants what it wants. Well captured here!
