Eyes that roam, even when they shouldn’t be.

Eyes that roam from here to there

Top to bottom

Lingering here or there

Upon her figure

As if to say she is on display

A toy for me to break

An instrument to play

Pull at her heart strings

Lead her on…then break her strings

For I won’t cheat on my lady at home

So he thinks

Some men more discreet than others

When it comes to ogling another woman

There eyes wander and roam

Nonetheless

It’s a crime just as severe

Maybe worst

Deceit is a lie!

Is it not?

So discreet is he….

A snake moving in full camouflage

Never mind the ring upon his finger

He obviously cares little about

His lover, who’s waiting at home 

If she only knew

Her respect for him would be out the window

Shattered Glass upon the Floor

 A marriage no longer

Here he sits behind his tinted shades

Eyes roaming here and there

While

His lover stays at home

Trusting him to stay true

Keep loving eyes only for her

Never mind all the love invested

He’ll risk it all…and will lose it all

Or will he?

    A very compelling ending question and an equally intriguing,
    vibrating poem. Sometimes he loses it all and sometimes not.

    Good job Kathy. A lot of guys are dirtbags…Jan has always told me she doesn’t mind if I look as long as I don’t touch. But she’s everything I’ll ever want so what’s to look at? I already have the best…
