Poetry
The Rival
By Snodlander
11 December 2006
Doggerel, but I hope you enjoy it all the same

Wow poetry never finishes, does it?  I must have changed the odd word here and there more than a dozen times since posting

I saw your eyes undress him slow,

I saw your tongue twixt lips a-flick.

Your breast, it heaves when his eyes glow

And your eyes drop, but far too quick.


I felt your heart beat loud as war

As once it did when first we met.

It skipped whene’er his face you saw

And then a sprinter’s pace it set.


I heard you gasp in mortal dread

When he in peril laughed at fate.

I heard you sigh when he, near dead,

Turned at the last from heaven’s gate.


My hand in yours, in public view

To show that we as flesh are one,

You gripped more tight when he, on cue,

Spoke words of love, his duty done.


And though you may with me go home

And though your heart it never leaves,

Yet still to him your fancies roam.

Oh how I hate Keanu Reeves.

You caught me with that last line! Part of me hoped for something like that, but did not truly expect it.  
 
I feel exactly the same about Cameron Diaz. Damn the woman, she doesn't have to clean toilets or bake brownies to gain the undying admiration of my man. All she has to do is look like Cameron Diaz, something I am entirely incapable of.

Fantastic stuff Snodders, nice romantic language and the transmission to more modern vocab was smooth.
