Sunday Poetry: Uninvited & Vous

by: lilith

 

uninvited

uninvited

you sweep in, all smoothness and silk

who are you to drink from my well

as you would your Mother's milk?

who are you to assume the coins

will land on the side you choose?

foolish to think they fall in your favor

you know I don't like to lose

unbidden

you deal the cards, trumping the Queen of Lust

you think it's clever you stacked the deck

but take care you don't go bust

for i hold my cards close

i never reveal my hand

so place your bet, dear sir

don't wait for the river to make a stand

unwelcome

you think your numbers lucky, your web's been spun

you think your prey is caught, your trap holding fast

you think you've already won

yet in one short spin I'll be free

beginning my own delicate weave

dare you tread on my creation?

for if you're trapped, you'll never leave

Vous

Shall I tell thee my deepest secrets?

Shall I bare my soul without shame?

Shall I tell thee how my fever burns

Each time you speak my name?

Would these things trouble thee?

Would they make you turn away,

Leaving me with only the heartache

I feel when night turns to day?

So I must tell you quickly

Before you pass me by

I fear to pose such inquiries

For I am still a bit too shy

Yet you've cast a spell over me

I do nothing but think of thee

So I must know one thing:

Do you do nothing but think of me?
