Watching (aHaibun)

[PrttyBrd]

Sitting in silence. Trying not to look like I’m watching youwork. Taking in the lines your body makes as you sit inconcentration.

Yourfurrowed brow and the way your lips remain parted moving ever soslightly as you exhale. The brightness of your lips beckons akiss. Slow, deliberate kisses of longing, kisses full of intent todevour, ignited by the warmth of you.

Watching in silence
Waiting for the slightest sign
Caught, and feign denial

Being the hunted
Actively stalked by the beast
There is no escape
