Good tidings bearer
payroll-pelican
penny paucity preventer
hunger-pang queller
money-bags stowed
golden-city bound
up-down-up-down
big-business elevators
receptionist-smiles
winning-lottery-ticket gaze
cat-o-nine-tails scowl
‘cause sugar-daddy’s late
parking-ticket glovebox toss
posh next stop
agent to stars of rock
goth-goddess anticipators
cardio-grand sauté
Southern-hemispheric tingles
sweaty palmed entrance
kind, dark eyes invite
calm permeates
under tenderizing gaze
avant-garde beauty’s quintessence
on swivel-throne seated
raven-hair cascades
on white shoulders rests
pincushion princess
seductively pierced
alabaster skin
tattooed masterpieces
on epidermal canvas displayed
profound cleavage divides
ample, black leather-sheathed breasts
obsidian-hued lips
in a happy-to-see-you-for-you smile
a midday sunrise
a-typical passion ignites
naked souls converse
cosmically connected
entwined minds
cheek-to-cheek dancing
under-ten-minute tango
courage-words suggest,
“you, me, coffee, maybe lunch?”
risk-averse bob-logic
stifles shall-we-dance desires
could-have-been list grows
same ‘ole script followed
destiny’s self-loathing captain
in safe harbor
drops immutable anchor
moors in moderation-in-all-things waters
where sensuality and passion
are especially rationed

Author's Note
For a time, during my college years, I worked as a courier delivering payroll to San Francisco Bay Area businesses. San Francisco was the favorite of my assigned routes. I am perpetually fascinated with that marvelous city. This poem is about one exceptional individual I met along the way. I hope you enjoy the video. it maybe be a tad overdone and perhaps silly but I had an absolute blast constructing the PowerPoint. Two of the images were free access from the web but the rest is my design and execution. Below are links to the background songs,
"I Left My Heart in San Francisco" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWiLEMaFYE8
"Scarlet Rose" https://youtu.be/VxsgW-nRvbw
"The Evening Watch" https://youtu.be/z3jP4w6Or6w

Dear GW,
What a trip! I loved the vibe, the music background, the graphics. Total score. Reading it without the video I created a whole bunch of city vignettes in my minds eye of people and sites. Watching the video, it was a whole different rhythm and meter. Awesome piece. H🌷

Thank you so much, Honoria! I am glad that the piece stimulated your imagination. Do you think the video detracts from that more organic reading experience? I certainly don't want to deny that pleasure, I am encourage by your ind assessment of the piece💖

Not at all. I thought the video was terrific. It allows the reader two different options. Options are good.😊

Amen to options and the taking the advantage thereof❣❣ The poem I'd not only a sensual recollection but also an homage to a city I sincerely love and miss.
