'emancipation'

~~*~~ woman undone by a glance i stop almost afraid to move then you whisper me to your side and i glide as on silken wings unfamiliar with your casual repose i feign disinterest of your subtle style more used to suits and immaculate poise i nod and smile looking for a diversion accepting cocktails and small talk delving into modern tax regimes and baudy office discussions extracting myself from your presence i move towards safer ground secure in a seated position watching as the poseurs dance reciting oft used incantations hoping to spark a bite relaxed by fruity concoctions slipping into my comfort zone settled in upholstered warmth i assume my indelible guise peering nonchalantly at the fray you slip unwarded to my side beauty never smelt so sweet as juniper and honey laced with lime you're so pleased at my presence not my scene anymore preferring to avoid the flimsy who skulk daily in my doorway with their foreign ideas of real and you say how we look as sisters both dressed in monochrome your arm slips through mine and your hand strokes my palm we laugh and talk of escaping possibilities of a midnight swim or perhaps a more intimate club where lesser sharks dwell all the time gently stroking naively glancing under perfect lashes i find myself relaxing intoxicated and i wonder how innocent of my reactions to your presence you really are ~~*~~has a dull droning feel to me hard to portray this in words might have to edit - any suggestions =^..^= Written February 12th, 2002 © on Feb 11 2002 10:36 PM PST    18 • 0 • 10
