Right Here, Right now

love in all the wrong places or perhaps not

By Janette NystromPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

The club was seedy

heels on, breasts out

chit, chit, chat, chat- loudly

I felt you before I saw you

I was looking for nothing

you would later say

you could not look away, and were confused by such a reaction

we were both married

in the muck, trying our luck

passing days

I could not look away

the anvil had fallen on my head

Disabled by the weight of intense, jaw dropping, Oh my god this is what I have always been dreaming of- love- or was it just desire?

think, think, don't act; for this wrong, this is not what you condone

but your feet were moving before his hand touched you

and you danced

everything was now different

forever.
