Their Play Is All the Same!
A sample from Book 9
'Secret' No More!
the cat's out the bag
on the surface‒
I no longer scratch
‒don't want to sound
like a hag
not even a nag
but I'm done
playing this little game
of tag
I no longer want
the jab‒
that sneaky, sly syntax
keeping me in a corner
my existence entrapped
‒secrets over nightcaps
for so long
at it
I merely laughed
playing along‒
this hidden
out-of-sight craft
for so long
I fell into its path
to feel barely half
of a lover's swag
not any more
do these eyes sag
I now see
the repeated red flags
here they are‒
if you want to keep track
here they are‒
if your eyes
are stuck in lack:
away from public view‒
begins
the slow, gentle snatch
text this, text that
a hi here
a hey there
even the wyd flair
then the ignore‒
playing-with-the-mind anthrax's
added-on little snap
maybe a phone call or two‒
avoiding a bit of snag
(the now understood common trap)
oh! how texting does that
‒just a tiny dab
the get-what-they-want hatch
turning texting to sexting
in a flash
then sit back...relax
as she falls in the trap
her mind...now attacked
with a little zap‒
man-ego-driven
mind-boggling witchcraft
sealed and wrapped‒
one-sided—playing-out wrath
sexting‒
the perfect-controlling telegraph
then comes
the moving-on slow raft
to get that big splash
‒adding to their stash
images behind
a monitored glass
a little skin
in flash
with some sexy sass
the building in pizzazz
wanting more
of that flabbergast
building, building
téte-a-téte
then veiled in a masque‒
when questions invade
the on-and-off going chitchat‒
a quickened spat
back to the ignoring splat‒
ego...alive and well
in combat
'til comes that final blast
flesh to unmask
an act in diplomat
making her feel all that‒
the sexy little kitty cat
‒the play in chat
becomes
an in-the-flesh transact
good or bad‒
putting her in abstract
continued words on a pad‒
her mind to distract
rather hijacked
from their away-from-her
reality fact‒
she's not the only lass‒
their on-going sexting hack
blatant ways in acrobat‒
that and this
this and that
'til her avoided questions
forces a react‒
why not spend time with me
why the constant disappearing act
she innocently asks
wanting beyond
the sexual wrap‒
wanting out of secret's
hidden tap
the continued avoiding lap
puts her mind
in wondering's rasp
all-stop...hold
goes the lit glass‒
with no returned téte-a-téte
or to-the-door dash
or a together attach
nor explanations to patch
or synchronizing photographs
not even a social-media match
her mind opens up‒
I've seen all that
recognizing perfectly
the plotted graph
experience, experience
the exact-patterned zigzag
she's once again caught
knowings in fact‒
their intentions
won't go
any further than that
for her unanswered questions
suspicions‒
her experiences in reasoning
reality's opened-up rap‒
she's just one of many cats
in their secret's rattrap
‒with all these red flags
no need for a polygraph
I don't even need an ax
or a wiretap
not even some mindless booby-trap
just a sentence or two‒
seeing through the claptrap
then sit back
watch the unwrap‒
innocence offers a laugh
let's fix this hash
to you...I want to holdfast
let's have a blast
out in the open‒
'let's make our splash
guilt opens up the wrath
a shutting-down fast
placing-blame lash
social-media delete
the final smash‒
the secret
given the shaft
no longer do I fly half-mast
no longer am I the secret
in stash
yes, the red flags
seen in perfect format
I'm no spoiled brat
not even
lost in over-react
this kitty cat
just knows where it's at
I'm more than just a paragraph‒
a secret in scraps
I'm all or nothing
an out-in-the-open en masse
willing to adapt
with another walking
the same path
