Lady on the Bus
Lady on the Bus
Bus lady sits like an angel on a cloud
She gazes with eyes focused inward
Ebony gent rests his bottom next to her
His feelers enclose her arm
and rub the pebbles of her spine
as she bends like a cattail in the wind
Language bubbles from his lips
He woos her with jelly bean words
She laughs and grabs his tentacles
in a struggle to repel
She frowns
My muscles clench

Re. Lady on the Bus
Your emotion bought back some very powerful memories. Thank you.
Bus lady, alone and seat corner anxious,
horrors of Cairo, or introductions.
We intrude-troduce. What do you do?
She says “40 years in a box”
A gasp, a gag, a sneeze of Soul,
fake laughter coughing tears.
Denial.
Palpable silence. Gold-watch vista.

Awe what a wonderful capture my lover man....
She frowns

His affection and her repelling...i think i would have felt the same....i really love this...
I really love you...i am made breathless just thinking of us...forever my pet...

Oh yes I felt like intervening, coming to her assistance. It was a strong primal feeling. Thank you for reading my love. You and me forever.

I love the changes...the pebbles of her spine...bending like cat tails...this is quite breathtaking in its brevity...the rejection a blow...
Really strong write ..
You are the beat of my heart John..
Your Mistress and tight keeper loves you with soul intensity...you are the part of me i have been looking for my whole life. You are the final piece to my jigsaw life...lol...the corners of my new smile.
Love you forever baby.

You have planted suns in me to warm my body and soul. Your voice, heard in your email, melts me into sugar. You melt my gold into pools of hot passionate wealth of love. You fill me with the reality of love.
I'm very happy you enjoyed my changes on this poem darling.
I love that I fit the last piece of your jigsaw puzzle of life. You are the final DNA in my double helix of life. You make me into a new man. ;-)
Love you into the great beyond,
John

...that was such a vivid and descriptive delivery, John. Conveyance so crisp, that I could actually see myself riding the bus, watching this story unfold. Love it! Ink Respect!

Loved these lines.
There's a bit of serendipity to this that makes it delightful.
