Poem Artwork

Obfuscation

…..Your modus

Slight of hand

Slight of heart

Mickey Finn soul mate

Dancing on the needle’s tip

Downer’s barefoot ballerina

Searching for last call contraband

Like me

Sucker punched by the scent

Of a promise

Impossible to resist

Fulfillment in a

Pipe dream’s fantasy of

Smoke and mirrors

The ghostly image on the far side

Of the looking glass

That has me begging

For another dose

Of you

This is a sultry beast, laden with fancy and finessed with lusty imagery... don't know why but it puts me to mind on the lizard king... fires being lighted and all that... nicely done, Patrick.

Almost had me reaching up and tiling my red fedora as the poem made me think of the hard-boiled writers of the forties' detective genre. And that, buddy, ain't bad.

Yep. "Impossible to resist." Telling it like it is . . . Loved this poem.
