Weekly Poem 7/28/2018 #7 of 12

Backing up with the story, this poem is #7, just before 'Hooked'. My head was spinning indeed, hence these writings. The title is an allusion to what would have been this my 3rd woman at love, not including those deemed as mistakes. lol. I had given her poem #1 by hand a few weeks before, to which her denial was aptly reflected by the yellow that she wore the next day, invoking her tizzy of sorts at work while still being discreet. My counter-reply is given in the last line of verse. By the time of this poem however, other co-workers knew that she had "messed up" by using subterfuge to spur my emotions. So they were waiting to see what would happen next .lol. The original footnote of inspiration will be given after a few reads. All rights reserved copyright 2004.

“Third Time Charm”

At second sight; at a loss for words.
Never escaping light; at long last heard.
Always within two worlds; never dull for romance.
A woman no longer a girl; a hand to hand stance.
Sold by circumstance; the past became lost.
Never had a chance; so fast came the cost.

Abandon the fight; plowshares no longer swords.
A man with a right; a place without words.
Whole country in flight; two strangers with the same burden.
A monolith of might; a stage without a curtain.
Illusions to sleep at light; a harbinger for the unlearned.
Allusions to sheep at night; a danger not left unturned.

Kiss me now before we awaken, and enliven our dream.
Caress me now, oh how we are taken; so on site and on scene.
Touching the 'brutally honest' drew a strike from the unseen.
Never more than rudely modest; talk was always but so cheap.
Whisk me away now my lady for the event is real.
“Third time is a charm”, I say, for I lied when I said, 'It's not that big a deal'.
