This Woman

This Woman

This woman trips into me,
hair licks a hungry neck,
her legs the distance between
the floor and what I want,
her eyes the opiate​
the till, the change.

Fingers flutter like moths
about the snap of a purse...
Eyes searching,
smile welcoming

'Hello,' I say

'Didn't I see you earlier?'
lips slip, stumbling over the truth,
each letter uttered with sweet guile,
mouth left parted a tooth width --
my wallet flip,
the contract,
signed.

I breath an hour into her ear,
an apple with the pips nipped,
leaving the sweetness not the mud.
she sinks knowingly,
eased by familiarity,
cradled in a moment
lived before.

Easy read. Very Smooth Flow. I like the rhythm.
Seduction? I am not a professional so i'm just sharing my impressions: I see a prostitute doing her job. In case you're wondering, 'the wallet flipped', and the contract was signed- a passionate description of somthing mechanical(?) Am I way off?
I tried...

Some people crave love and are willing to pay with their soul to find it. They do not know the difference between a one night stand and well earned admiration. We all pay if we get it wrong ...
