men stop mid step when they see you
no not just stop
they change direction
so that they might get closer to you
if not closer
then to have a better view of you
just to lay eyes upon you
your neck
the graceful shape it takes
the neck of royalty
of a beautiful swan
men cheat on their wives with you
in their hearts
they long to be with you
not just sexually
but
to be seen with you
to have an opportunity to know you more
to have you hold their hand
or have their arm around your shoulder
to be close enough to feel the beat of your heart
hoping to capture it
thinking all the while that their lives would be complete if they had that
chance
knowing full well what that cost would be
possibly a broken home
definitely a slave to you
their hearts no longer in their possession
lost to the radiance that blinded them the first moment they laid eyes upon you
men find reasons to walk by you
they sit
thinking of questions that they might ask you
without seeming too stupid
or childish
trying to prepare
for most it does not work
because once in your presence they are disarmed
and completely without control
in the way they were wishing they might be
to impress you
to share a moment with you
that one moment
that one memory
to carry with them into eternity
some fain indifference
but they fool no one with their empty claims of disinterest as they stand there
saying one thing
while gazing in your direction
im not looking at her
just checking out what she is doing
is that the right way
isnt she kind of slow
no....
no one believes the fool anyway
the intelligent ones
understand your power
a power which you do not yield
inert but overwhelming nonetheless
but they understand it’s potential
like the sun
it gives warmth
but they know that one risks all if they get too close
some hope to catch your eye
to see that half smile of yours
almost a smirk
and to see your eyes looking back
those gorgeous exotic almond orbs
a man….and many women
would become transfixed with those eyes holding them
until you end your look and shyly look down
or away
another heart nearly broken
with just that one look
complete
and yet
empty
full
and yet
left wanting
men stop mid step when they see you
that way you walk
you don’t walk actually
you glide
seemingly effortlessly
you are unaware
but everyone around is
aware
halted
men stop mid step when they see you
and nothing is the same after that
