Furtive Fly
“Hey Bill, what’s that spot in the hall ?”
“Awe, that’s just a fly on the wall.”
“John, you seen  foreman Bob?
“No. Why? Where is that slob?
“Careful! He’s got big ears, y’all ! “

“Yeah, they say he’s got eyes in the back of his head.”

Furtive Screams of a Christian
Though I've created my own Egypt
Doing things as if God does not exist.
Could not wait for the unknown.
I'm burning with passion, inflamed with lust. 

Just! Because sin is the matter in the heart.
I was told the lies that are almost the truth
My mind sponged sinful...

A Furtive, Surreptitious Affair
Hands touch, accidentally
Short, deep glances by me, as she looks the other away
Be sure not to get caught
Although I expect she’s doing the same
We can’t do this, can we?
No-one will know, no-one gets hurt, isn’t that the line?
I heard it was just a bit of...

Premium Member Fleeting, Furtive, Flitting
Blink of glance, fleeting touch on fingers flit
furtive; just out of reach your desire pants,
wantonly wanting the touch of desire.

Warming to hot with anticipation,
willing the wait to gain, not wane in vain,
not early this time our coming be joined....

Furtive Love
.


moon-darkened night,
fluttering fronds above,
quivering streaks of light,
of tapering shadows
on anxious thrill,
on nervous joy.

ah, freedom so elusive,
there, smooth, wet sand,
yonder, mossy driftwood,
here, hidden scene,
we can clearly see
without being seen.

stealthily, ebb tide kisses
our sandy, naked feet,
but why the stealth?
why be reluctant?
why be furtive before
the naked truth?

is this...

Furtive Frost
Jack Frost had been darting around
Frost covered the hedges and ground.
Sly Frost crept and scrawled
And none knew Frost called;
Frost struck without making a sound.

Furtive Meeting
Furtive meeting

We sat in the park a packet of fags
a bottle of wine, on the back of a napkin
I wrote her a poem about love.

While struggling to find the right word
I hardly knew her, she fell asleep,
wine of good quality can be strong.

I counted my...

Our Past Was a Furtive Shadow Drifting
Realizing how quick and relentless life can be,
we can make a comparison and ie whisper it with idiocy,
" Our past was a furtive shadow drifting,
painting delusion on these faces and suddenly disappearing...
didn't that rapid wind steal our caresses and leave?
They both chased time and allowed...

My Furtive Muse
The muzzle flash of the moon is infused with clouds
where the brightness tapers off on knees that poke through
the slit in her dress; the hem slips off her crossed legs.

Gunpowder in sieves flecks her irises
when she glimpses through my lunar haze
of daydreams that I'll trigger...

Premium Member Mirage Oasis
On the horizon, it shimmers and gleams.
A bright green oasis beckons parched dreams.
So lush, inviting, it's not what it seems.
It's an illusion, a mirage of beams,
Scintillating in incandescent streams....
