Salt Lines

(A Collab with Bree)

The train tracks line the destination to a constrained world 
where girls in the workplace forever speak of Prince Charming 
On the platform, the cross of reality and illusion 
she sits in the cold with The Price of Salt on her lap
Her curls fall casually teasing her cherry lips
My world explodes like the stars in the Milky Way
I wonder if 
her soft lips could melt my anxious desire into strawberry kisses
I picture her elegant fingers bringing fireworks in all my secret places

She raises her brown eyes across the tracks
enchanting smile lighting up the air between us
Trains rattle 
daring to disturb the line between us
Before she disappears from view 
Her lips mouth words I can already taste on my tongue… 
‘Find me’
and with a flash of steel and glass
I am undone

Circle

She smiles

A smile melts icy tears

Tear stricken eyes, he glances over

Over her spring blossom face

A face no man can turn away

Away from pain, she is calling

A call for home coming

Coming home to her

She smiles

Fox

you got the moxy
attracts the foxy lady

her long legs
parade in burgundy heels
vaguely seen through
the dark silk
long split leg
maxi dress
her elegant ivory neck
wrapped in a fur scarf

your agile mind
and sharp wit
make her head turn
a vixen recognises
her own calibre
