the B&B's (three parts so far)



one of beauty an beasts
....
twas fight monumental
this he fought within
to submerge that which craves
an leash a beast
this inner part of him
for when a gentle maid did fall
from steps she sought to climb
he caught her close in arms deep folds
more by accident than design
with worry more than anything
his lips her brow did brush
awakening an animal that seeks
to crush her hips to his
devour her through her kiss
almost... almost their lips did meet
but he fought against his savage beast
with iron determination
lifted her from her feet
with arms fighting to close
pushed her slow away
to set her gentle down
far apart from him
sweat now beading his brow
with fear bright for what he...
what he needed from her
he turned from this gentle maid
an slowly walked away
ah but not before...
for she did see...
this soft unassuming maid
felt his fear and from this
knew her power over he
as he walked slow atremble
she quietly followed
in the manner of one
who stalks
their prey

the watching hour
....
she is everywhere now
watching ever watching
him
as once he watched her before
but never so obvious
as she would ever notice
or at least this is what he thought
for with her beauty
she was never for such as him
yet since that fall
when he fought himself and won
when he set her careful back
forcing the animal down and back
gently to her feet
caging the raging beast
urging her on her way
binding the creature with wrought iron chains
let her escape
subdued the savageness that sought to claim
she has been everywhere
watching watching him
with that blank of look and eye
everywhere he looks
everywhere he goes it seems
ever watching watching him
never speaking
never talking
strange to find it a comfort in a way
forcing her from his thoughts
to continue the work he has lost
he glances up to see
her
watching him

0f 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
