manicured elegance

Towering behemoths shadow the patio

as we sip on sweaty drinks.

Elegance can be as simple a thing

as a black dress flowing over you.


Desire has brought me to this place.

It would do more if you let it.

Illumination softens the red

of your lips, a slight smear


on the glass. You excuse

yourself for a moment,

my gaze fixes upon you,

a natural state of hypnosis.


When you return our

uttered words close the space

between us further and further

until it no longer remains.
