The One

Silken wrap

touching bare skin

lean forward

check light pink shade

dazzling eyes

subtle scent.

Smoky sandalwood 

undertones of lavender

calming

steady the hand

the nerves.

Gliding down the staircase

cushioned on air

feet never touching the ground

it looks that way from here.

Tiara blazing

diamonds glare

bow your head

glittering smile

curtsy without fall

you can see the heat rise

tangible to the touch.

Glide around the room

flute of champagne in hand

smile

seductive

hooded eyes

intel is taken.

Seductive spy

sensual in play

used as a barbie doll

armed with a weapon

so deadly.

Stand over the body

gun out

silenced the traitor

silent tear slips down painted cheek.

Sweet

silly

he could have been the one

if only

he had stilled his tongue.
