I stood in line abiding my time
Deciding on a latte or regular
when I heard the chime
I turned on a dime, watching him
Enter
Tall , dark and sleek
An ancient Greek, he smiled
And I wanted his lovechild
And just for the briefest of beats
I imagined myself his
lover,
his submissive, his
Muse
and his friend blended
in passion
For a second I held my breath
and let the tingle
run through my loins
like Desdemona, no longer single
till death do us part
I felt out of breath
For an instant
I saw a wild, intense
insane affair commence
filling my days with exotic bliss
my nights with appointed trysts
and I was beguiled
Symbiotic
A split second
This was something unique,
special and raw
sexual, electric
epic, non apologetic
one sixtieth of a
minute
he’s the pipeline
to my lifeline
the guideline to
my once-in-a-lifetime
Whose next?
Broken into
my musing
I smiled back
shaking my head
with complete certainty
it wasn’t meant to be
at least not this lifetime
maybe the next
stepping forward
I ordered my latte to
go
