Married Man

talking and giggling
I glanced up to
check the time when
he walked in
looking like
goodness wrapped in caramel
dipped in masculinity
bulging and firm
gentle and kind

I hesitated
paused
interrupting conversation and
creating awkward space
cause instantly
I wanted to get lost
absorbed
released into
the very essence of this man

By just the look
the calm in the eye
the physique and cool swagger
speaking of past ruffneck
refined and reformed
to business cool

"Wedding ring"
my girlfriend whispered
but my eyes wouldn't look down
couldn't tear away
until he spotted me
then embarrassment
warm and stinging
swept through my person
sent alarms to my brain
explosions tearing through my mind
i turned abruptly
leaving that
married man
alone
