Preponderance of mammals
In Sea, and on land
Man searches
For love
His list of favorites beckons,
But keeps being overtaken,
By one
Accountant with the gemstone green eyes
And a smile so sultry,
It plunges you into gravitational freefall
Man keeps coming back to you,
Seeing something in that soft smirk,
Seeing something in those piercing eyes
There is even, the possibility of flaw,
An unclear image of her upper mandible,
Potentially spoiling her perfect smile
And even that cannot deter
His gaze
Man searches the preponderance of mammals,
And keeps finding your face
A warm hug
every time,
The eyes pierce mine
Aural assaults have worn his landscape,
And broken his resolve
Inequitable treatment has destroyed his chastity,
And dissolved his control
Sharp words have cut him, happiness leaking from his aorta
His logic is clouded by malice, his strength is all that remains
A strength made weak, by her lime soul-windows
A hunger, roaring thunderous under his ribs
A craving he cannot forever contain,
Under these circumstances:
A captain sails her ship toward an iceburg,
Inching ever closer to complete hull failure
Too ignorant of her course,
To see the damage she is constructing
Sending a man three hours south,
For a chance at warmth,
and satiety
