Stealthily Smitten

 

Just above the rim of my cup

my incognito eyes catch

a glimpse

of her tongue dancing

just behind its chiclet shield.

 

Precisely above the tip of her nose

she could set her sights directly

on my eyes…IF

I wasn’t so stealthily clever

behind my concealment cup of coffee.

 

The wells of her eyes…

            drowning me.

Her eyelids trickle,

refreshing her spheres of invited escape.

 

ESCAPE??

No chance now!  I’m caught!

                        But contentedly captivated.
