Just a quick short I was tempted to write when I finished the story 'Beating Heart'. The story kinda sucked in my opinion but the ghost in it kinda made me want to give this a whirl.

Whoa can figure out who's who and what's going on? I kinda got lost myself after a while -_-

Enjoy!


His smile broadens at the sight
of his heart's tender admirer.
The apple of his eye
wrapped in sweet perfection
the hornet in the flower

He shuffles
an unknown pawn ready to play his part
the sacrificing soldier
he accepts his role
he doesn't understand
he couldn't care less

He doesn't know
He won't know
He will never know
...But maybe he will

Love is a blue eyed snake
ready to strike and release its venom
to flow and corrupt its victim on the inside
into the souls of the innocent
the naive and inexperienced
who never see it coming

A shadow lands softly on his form
a blanket of silent danger
who knows of his weakness
the heart that was never prepared
who never saw him coming

It wasn't his fault
that his mother died
before she could warn him
of the people to avoid
I once tried
but I am not his mother

They sit side by side
hands grazing
and legs pressed lightly together
I bare my teeth ready to strike
but he won't let me
I cannot defend
nor advance

A feather-light hand creeps up sleek black fur
gold and brown indulge themselves in the absorbing colour
midnight relinquishes no colour
until the white border of dawn cuts it off
covering the heart of the gentle lover

Deception
rests just beneath the smooth curves of face
soft hills of soft tender flesh perked up to the touch
cashmere that makes his sense wild and sharp
but not sharp enough

I try to look away
but it's hard
so very hard
I try to warn but go unnoticed

He leans forward
They lean forward too
pale white fur meeting bronzed
the delicate sensitive skin that cover the treasures of lips
they meet
I frown

They start to move
lips mapping out their own paths on new and familiar territory
friendly neighbours and close partners
partners not meant for the same field
A backstabbing partner who'll cut you down
to make his dollar
to get his instant gratification
Because he can't wait

He puts another hand on him
my whole being throbs with anger
anticipation
It could be so easy to kill
quick to destroy
but past impossible

Kisses increase with passion
a smouldering heat
now a searing flame
yearning for more
more of sweet deception i
ntoxicated with the illusion

He allows the bigger tom to ease him down
his body laying prone
belly up
like a dead fish
it disgusts me

He's on the bottom
prey whose submitted to its predator
no control in what happens next the future
a complete surprise
one not up to him to determine

Black fur on black fur pressing with need
hungry and crazy
desperate to fill a need of great weakness
to fill the empty void of love
but this isn't love
it looks like it
but isn't

Then
it
happens

He touches him
in a way that would make any cat blush
he is wanting
he has needs
I'm about to snap
My hot heavy gaze eats at his mind
he knows it
I know it

'No' he whispers
light as wind
easily droned by heavy panting
the want growing more
but he doesn't stop

'No'
he stops
the look on his face makes me smile
he's shocked
no one's turned him down before

they stare evenly at each other
soldiers looking over the trench
to watch their enemy
neither willing to launch the next grenade
to fire the first gunshot

Golden lashes blink
Once
Twice
Three times
then his face goes calm
he doesn't care

'Fine
I'll go'

Yes
leave
Please do
He is left behind
like so many times before
dropped like trash
He's surrounded by trash
but has now become a part of it

I stand there
basking in my glory
I have won

He sees this
becomes angry
then saddened
he has nothing to say
I have nothing to contribute
we stand in silence

He breathes heavily
hurt evident on his fair face
I breathe heavily
but instead of air I breathe emotion
anger
relief
compassion
love

The feelings pass
I leave to see who has replaced him
revenge seeping through
I feel the bubbling bile of an ager beyond rage
but do nothing say nothing

I am nothing
but I breathe
Emotion.


So? What you think?I know it seems long but it isn't anything really x3 it's all under 800 words. I can easily say that it was fun making this, took me less than an hour... Can you tell? ;)
