The makeup runs a marathon
inking your soft-laced collar.
Behind those store counter sunglasses
I'm guessing blue with amber sparks.
Ticket-book with Houston pride logo.
Recycled napkin suggests a coffee leak.
Knock-off Prada handbook overstuffed.
Dior sandals wrap spray-tanned ankles.
A spontaneity sweeps over my composure.
Usually rigidly methodical, still I advance.
Now next to you, your scent is as imagined
and your lobes are my mouths desire.
Snapping editorial with feigned interest,
I find the classifieds. Singles Section.
Perusing over Woman seeking Men,
you make good use of peripheral vision.
"Flight Delta 92 now boarding for Spain"
Your longing ejects regretting sigh.
If only a taxicab earlier, perhaps
I might've requested your name.

I love this..so now! and observant...with nuances that most don't notice. But it's often the little nuances, the so called imperfections that we find alluring.
I find this write alluring too. -
Nice, a curious little thought process. Good job
-
Outstanding images in this! You 'paint' this all so easy to visualize. Great wording! I have too many lines I like to repeat them in a comment - so I'll just say I really enjoyed this.
Well done!
best wishes in your contest.

would you have?
this one is highly amusing; i wish i could read peoples thoughts, it would be so much fun. i particularly liked the second to last stanza but can't say i liked these lines: "Now next to you, your scent is as imagined/ and your lobes are my mouths desire." too much. maybe 'cause i personally find ears kind of ew. lol.
uh oh! i'm late for work.
