A Game in the Afternoon

I actually started to write a totally different poem but this one was rather insistent and demanded to be brought out into the world. I did finish the other one and may post it in a day or two - depending on what else happens.




A Game in the Afternoon - 30 Jan 10

Lovers meet
Tempt with offers
And dreams,
To enter into places
Where no one else can go
Teasing, tempting
Leading on, then
Drawing back
To tease again

In the warm afterglow
Of day
Watching the sun set
Into the sea
When the games have ended,
The place where others
Cannot go
Still waits, welcoming
Inviting us in





Pleasing on so many levels and, just as equally, surprising too - this was not the poem I expected.
