Electric urban night <br />En route to the site <br />Every detail just right <br />I’m smooth like that <br /> <br />Smoky haze <br />Still I meet her gaze <br />I advance, unfazed <br />I’m smooth like that <br /> <br />I sidle up <br />Throw a witty remark <br />Hitting the mark, igniting a spark <br />I’m smooth like that <br /> <br />Our friends disperse <br />Leaving us immersed <br />I catch her tumbling purse <br />I’m smooth like that <br /> <br />“Seeing anyone? ” <br />“No, ” she replies, “still looking for The One.” <br />“Yeah, isn’t it tough in this town? ” <br />I’m smooth like that <br /> <br />Crowded bar <br />Counter too far <br />I navigate through like a star <br />I’m smooth like that <br /> <br />Hand her her drink <br />Some concoction in pink <br />I tease her and wink <br />I’m smooth like that <br /> <br />Getting bolder <br />I playfully touch her shoulder <br />She begins to smolder <br />I’m smooth like that <br /> <br />Now’s my chance <br />I pull her to dance <br />She’s soon in a trance <br />I’m smooth like that <br /> <br />I walk her home <br />A stone’s throw from the Dome <br />On the spot I conjure a poem <br />I’m smooth like that <br /> <br />Invited in <br />Tempted to sin <br />Yet thoughts spin <br />Is this really a win? <br /> <br />I politely refuse <br />Not right with all that booze <br />But don’t sing the blues <br />“How ‘bout lunch tomorrow at two? ” <br />She knows I’m smooth like that<br /><br />Yoni Assis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/smooth-like-that/
