He Never Saw Me (at the Club)

He never saw me come to him
With music smoke rings in my hair.
Where others mingled on the rim,
While sitting at a table there.
 
So unaware how women stalk,
To cross the room where he was at.
With tabby stripes of stealthy walk,
As if to slink more like a cat.
 
But here I was beside his chair,
A color strobe lit up my face
Just as he turn’d look’d up to stare,
And so did others in the place.
 
I moved & leaned to let him guess.
His eyelids lower’d from the scent,
The sparkl’d mesh of cocktail dress
And hemline raised to please a gent.
 
I saw his interest start to pique
And let him have some time to think.
He pull’d me to him on the sneak
As bourbon spill’d from toppl’d drink.
 
I felt my chance to dance had come.
A waitress came & went just then.
A glass he’d ordered, coke and rum,
And held it to my lips, “Say when”.
 
Don’t think that I’m that kind of girl,
I said, and brush’d his drink aside.
“You’re beautiful, a precious pearl.”  
Oh please I’ll hurl!, then ran outside.
