Glossy dark hair
piled high and tied with
an ivory clasp
ruby lips moisten

a casual smile
a morning hello
a cheery wink
no words spoken

eat smile
cuddle child
nod at spouses
underneath a passion builds

instantly to
my leering gaze
she reacted
rude but effective

a bad habit
a throwback to youth
those eyes
still transmit

the words slid out
yes ja contact followed
white teeth
endless smiles

all in the mind
two people
suddenly alert
constantly visible

once released
the lust
has to be
sated or tested

control it
or you
destroy
many lives
