Caught Unaware

Butterfly flapping its wings...

 

The sun bounced

off your distracted

eyes, letting me see

the caramel that makes

your eyes seem almost

transluscent

 

An honesty lives in those

eyes and smile, and I caught

it even if you were wandering

looking at objects A,B, and C

and no, not in that order,

but I was paying attention

none the less

 

Not like a stalker no,

not like a predator,

though, you do have a knack

for making me feel as if I should

make like a lioness hunched

and ready in the savanna...

 

Im wandering around the lines,

sidestepping the urges to speak

between the lines

instead keeping this,

 

what is this?

 

this thing, this...

shenanigan....

going ever forward

at the slow pace

set in almost wet cement

(isnt that poetic)

 

Im growing rather fond

of watching it dry

one day at a time.

[GBU POETRY ONLY]

"Caught Unaware" is superb. Loved the opening verse...yum caramel...
The 3rd verse is splendid.. "Make like a lioness" is an impressive image ...
The 4th verse is "playful"
Bravo, A. Hipster!
