Escalation


First eyes stared, and the air was filled with mystery.  
The senses grew acute; there was certain chemistry.  
Slowly they opened up, and things were progressive.  
Quickly things began to transform; they became obsessive.  
They went wild, they went restless, and they were desperate.  
Ultimately, trust prevailed; there was commitment, and they were committed.

Escalation

Escalators work either way
Escalations work either way
Escalators put load on other side
Escalations push load on same side
First is for the physicially disbled
Next is for mentally disbled

Escalation

A woman is following me.
I am guessing she is lonely.
Having a stalker gives me glee.
It makes me feel quite naughty.

This is becoming bothersome.
She phoned up and called me a scum.
She disguised her voice with a hum.
But I know where the call came from.

Next door she is now a boarder.
She has a mental disorder.
She is ignoring the order.
I got it to try to ward her.

I wake up to find my hands tied.
She is standing by my bedside.
Telling me she is now my bride,
and we must toast with cyanide.
