I kept away
Though I longed to see
The woman who shares
Your life
I could have gone
Any time, though
You don’t want me to
See your wife
‘She’s my build
With dark hair
And fringe’
My friend told me before
But she’s more round
And sullen
Not so pretty
as I thought
I saw her today
And she saw me
Our eyes locked
In a stare
My panther’s gaze
Saw in and beyond
To infiltrate her there
If I get close
I’ll understand
What draws you to her side
There must be some
Thing I can’t see
That sense can override
So I’ll return
Once more to feast upon
Your spouse my dear
And fiercely hope
That this will help
Alleviate my fear.
