A seedy bar near Half Moon Bay <br />known for trysts, where lovers play <br /> <br />while lonely spouses wait at home <br />beside a clock and all alone. <br /> <br />A vengeful woman in a chair, <br />hoping someone sees here there. <br /> <br />A playful cat, a mouse she seeks, <br />eyeing men through fingers peeks, <br /> <br />fantasizing, nothing missed, <br />her mind goes racing down a list <br /> <br />of attributes to be beneath <br />in wanton loving 'tween the sheets. <br /> <br />Courage bolstered by her drinks, <br />seductive eyes give blatant winks, <br /> <br />and volumes spoken in her smile <br />telling them - love me awhile. <br /> <br />The guilt long gone, her lesson learned, <br />revenge is sweet and now hate burned <br /> <br />at this same table where he sat <br />and broke her heart - he saw to that, <br /> <br />while she sat waiting there at home <br />beside a clock and all alone.<br /><br />C.J.
