of he

he padded
strange that term but fitting all the same
she noticed
he padded across carpet silent
even across tiles with no sound
and his grace
one would not notice till one truly looked
a shift of weight and no bark to shin
as a file drawer came in his way
avoiding contact with an unhurried style
timid one could think
till one matched his eyes
soft he spoke
yet larger would clear his way
when he finally looked from what he was doing
to the one who stood to bar his path
all piss and fire that one wanted to argue
would have called him out on the spot
yet with quiet words and a simple look
that one turned and walked away
with a hitch in his stride as he tried to slow
but his feet forced him faster anyways
... she listened now as they spoke
what little was known more supposed
of his life away from work
stories of his women intrigued her most
wild and uncontrolled most would say
talk of gypsies in this day and age
but then everything about him was seen as strange
... that he knew she watched never was in doubt
she felt his arms around her
every time she looked his way
smelled his musk surround her
felt his lips burn her brow
why she watched she did not know
but one day she would make him pay
for simply refusing her his lips
he would pay and pay and pay
