Holt That Thought

 

haiku by Elise

 

10/23/12

 

That lopsided grin
A bright twinkle in his eyes
Trouble up ahead

 

Does he feel it, too?
"Danger, danger!" my mind screams
Oh, but those blue eyes!

 

Charming and handsome
Equilibrium upset
What is his intent?

 

Magnums of champagne
Impossible challenges
It leaves me itchy

 

Together we dine
Innuendo, flirtation
Is he teasing me?

 

Who is this stranger?
He both excites and confounds
I'm losing control

 

Dancing together
Not your traditional waltz
Being swept away

 

Who are you, really?
A conman, a crook, a thief?
"Steeler" of my heart

 

Fireplace aglow
A vintage bottle of wine
Will I stay tonight?

 

Mysterious past
Here with me in the present
Hope for a future?
