to traverse the open plains,
open for everyone to see;
the revelation of desires,
a warm approach seen by eagle eyes -
those cold, dark, discerning looks,
nothing but evil intentions;
critique, destruction, judgement ...
expect the denurement of jealousy to creep into,
threaten, the budding of tenderness.
it matters not, for the innate reflex -
the swirling dervish of a language [unspoken, unheard]
subsumes the bitterness of lost chances ...
possibilities over probabilities;
either we begin to dance
over the deafened cries of battle-hardened hearts,
or this dalliance never stood a chance;
invitations taken or not, an offer is all i can do ...
