To Adonis in Passing

Fun Words You Wish You Could Say ...

I don’t care who you are, how old, or whether you’re male or female. At one time or another, you have experienced walking down a street and suddenly right there, walking toward you is … perfection. They are what your fantasies are built around.

This is a poem written with that in mind …

To Adonis in Passing
by C.J. Heck

I saw you today.
Young god, 
head held high,
proud mane blowing
in the city's dirty breeze,

clothes just enough wrinkled 
to make a woman believe
you just crawled out of a 'quickie',
or stepped off page 42
in this month's GQ.

Do you mind
that I turn and look
as you walk by?
No, of course not. 
You don't see me as a threat.

(You don't even see me at all).

But give me ten more years ...
by then, I'll be old enough
to reach over,
give your ass a squeeze
and say, 

“Mmmm ... nice buns.”
