Love Poem: Foxtrot

Foxtrot

Eyeballing you as a
     sticky bun; pondering how
to reach out without
     getting stuck.

"Perhaps it’s the flare of the
     Season, or more primal
     reasons, but I find
obsession in the chase, if you
     don’t mind the pursuing."

Your lashes flutter in
     exasperation, twin Venus
Flytraps stretching before
     consuming,

those pinholes inside lick the
     air around me, scanning
risk and prospect within such
     veiled intent.

"Are your legs prepared for the
     pumping, is your ardor
     thumping to torch my
feverous mortal thrill, or shall
     doubt guide your undoing?"

I load my quiver without
     malice, aware splendor is
never afraid of
     vast effort.
