Soft Lines

Black and silver beaded sequins

Enhancing each curve as

The incandescence shines

A mysterious glow

Of tempting thoughts

That need

Some double stitches of consideration.

Friendship

Is the main goal of

A working relationship

That was born from the management

Of a retail persuasion.

But the dress seems

To outshine those prudent thoughts.

It's teasing me into wonderment

Of a journey I might

Want to thread up.

I keep finding myself pondering

A way to guide my hands

Across that material

To form a pattern of passion

Between the two of us.

After all, office romance

Is not out of fashion.
