The Musings of a Reformed Drama Queen

“Oh just kiss him!!” says the wise woman.

”You have spent days describing the shape of his lower lip, weeks reflecting on the curl of his wicked grin.” she insists; supporting her argument.

“We have a life to live here.”

“There are bills to pay - responsibilities.”

 

If the drama queen was a braver soul, she would do just that. But, what if?

What if it means more than it’s supposed to?

What if it means less?

What about all the things she does not know?

What about all the feelings she does not want to feel?

 

Desire unfurls, uncurls in the bottom of her stomach, brings a tingle to her finger tips…

a sweetness to her lips…

crescent moon lip fills the space in between with expectation unfulfilled

to taste

to touch

to feel…

She could write stories about that lip

Ride the peaks and valleys of her imagination

Whisper sweet nothings into the nook of his shoulder…

But she won’t.

 

 

She is bound to over-think it - that is the pitfall of the drama queen.

 

But you say she is reformed?

Yes, that’s where the wise woman comes in!!

But of course, they are one and the same.

Two opposite ends on a wide spectrum of feminine cognition housed in one body - the play between the heart and the brain.

I loved, strike that, LOVED the ending. Not only was it worded beautifully, but without it, I would have interpreted the poem very differently. Men and women often think of each other as being so different, and although their are differences, we feel the same emotions. Both men and women feel that inner tug-of-war between logic and impulse, between caution and imprudence. Thank you for sharing.

Very nice piece! May I suggest a parody wrote from the guy's point to accompany it? Maybe a back and forth series?
