    Eliza wore a summer dress,
    an ocean smile, a negative stance.
    The combo was too much make-up
    conquering akin to a Ziggy’d Bowie.

    She approached, poised,
    was ever the open throttle
    launching little bottle rocket
    betrothed to varied deadly sins.

    This Indian legged luxury,
    chuckling at complexion’s spell,
    straddled with tanned caramel,
    tempting behind platonic intent,
    content to get plain attention.

    She pulled on her Winston cigarette
    exhaling second hand effect,
    hexing obedience through bonds,

    but I encroached,
    and broke them.

    And historians will preach
    that history teaches everything,
    that behind money is power
    devouring the thrones of kings;

    but only lovers understand
    that a first kiss is a first kiss
    overthrowing political theory,
    that only it can proceed;
    utterly overwhelming.

    Your last two stanzas work well. There's control and power in them. Keep pushing for that level of connection. A solid ending!

    Whoa Fulmah, I LOVED those lines. Especially her pulling the cigarette. So graphic! I saw it with my mind's eye. Thanks for sharing. Lovely, lovely.
