Behind the Counter

A Poem by tumi

love and romance behind the counter

"Behind the Counter"

The bar shrouded in a smoggy haze
My ears assailed by the loud musical noise
Whiskey's sweet warmth, my trusted companion
Behind the counter, as I sip, my heart finds refuge anew

Rhythms and blues, jazz stronger perfume
A prisoner of drink, my eyes grow weary, lost in gloom
Suddenly, my gaze fell on a radiant face
Vision cleared, I behold her lovely, charming grace

The bright ray of light reveals, her presence fills the room
Her dazzling green eyes, a work of artistic eternal hands
I grasp for breath, argh, a panicked heart and mind
As she finds solace on the nearby couch, our eyes entwine

I glared, she stared, eyes locked, time defied
Time stands still, time freezes, a staring game, a ride
Her radiant smile, pure delight, my guiding light, replied
Our hearts beat as one entwined

A kiss attempt, heart pounds like a Cherokee drum
Eyes grow pale in fear, shivering like a wet c**k's hum
A diamond-like smile, her eyes unleash a torrent of love
Obsession creeps in beneath her stunning smile above
