The neon lights exploded
Their secret themes encoded
The value of entertainment rising higher
The place was full and bustling
The young crowd pert and rustling
The mood being like a hungry crackling fire
I saw you feeling lonely
I get up hoping only
and signal the bartender in a hurry
You saw me hanging near
I’m gulping down my fear
There’s nowhere to retreat, no plans to tarry
We start out nice and easyMy jokes are kinda sleazyYou smirk and toss your hair a couple timesLike x in flirt’s equationCloak-and-dagger infiltrationI wonder how your heartbeat to mine rhymes
Your stare goes supersonicI down a gin and tonicThe night out takes a stimulating spinIt didn’t really matterMy thought processes scatterAs lights bounce off your lovely feline grin
The finest of your species
You beat my boldest wishes
It feels like I’m trespassing your terrain
The last call of the hour
I scribble down a flower
And wave it like a flag for your domain
You take my hand all knowing
You’ve got my juices flowing
We strike out on a night stroll on the beach
The air is warm and mustyI must be feeling crustyI get the vibe you’re quickly out of reach
And then the moon breaks coverAnd like a jealous loverIlluminates the scene from coast to coastWithout a premonitionAware of my conditionYou take a step and vanish like a ghost…* * *
The moral of the storyRomancing ends up goryThe minute you give in for what it’s worthSo next time you’ve got jittersBlame nocturnal ghost crittersThe bleeding souls of love’s cruel playful mirth.
