this breed –
an opportunistic
confident one
looking for an all natural lover
over an island
stopping at each house.
time after time,
he left empty.
then he went
to a place
near the sea cliff,
and nearby was the house
where the lady
was tending to the nest
of a togetherness moment.
the two came together
when she attracted him
with the bait of her eyes.
what followed next,
became a romantic
interlude of music.
poetics~cool out of the rafters 
nice, Don.
thanx susan:) now i have to see what mari thinks. we had a little dialogue about neruda and then she kinda gave me a idea to work with. lets see if it gets her attention..*L*
🙂 curious now…
immobilized between her wings he became.
the palpable, audible, edible, at their nest . .
by the way i love this – this metaphor is intact!
sometimes it’s nice to be immobilized:) all i did was just look up some seagull stuff and added the flavor. though i could have made it more heated at the end, i chose to keep the reader to make their own visualizations. i’m glad that you seen the metaphor was intact. most of the time when i do the metaphor i like to keep them fairly visible for the reader. the occasional obsure one once in a while. thanx for your wonderful comment:)) throw ya a hug too!!
as the sun never grows old, neither does THIS and that, variety of words who collide! – cheers!
I like the style and emotion here. How often we can relate to feeling “empty handed”
alpha, glad that you enjoyed this spin. i know all about the being left “empty handed” as well. i’ll have to see one day if being an emotive one will lead to an end to that “empty handed” feeling.
