She comes running in
Chest heaving and eyes wild
The twist of her hips as she looks over her shoulder
How the fabric rustles over her flushed skin
Practically sinful
.
She doesn't look at him at first
Heels clicking
Gun at point
She strides to the console
Radiating confidence and spoilers
She throws a lever
Sends them into space
.
And then when they're away
She turns
Her lips parted as she exhales
And a smile tugging on her face
Barely breaking
.
Those curls mock him
They bounce and sway
And move with her
The elegance
The mystery
The beauty
Pure and simple and complex
.
He asks her why she needed the gun
And he can feel the answer in the air
In her hair
The way it's electrified
And different
And wonderful
Spoilers
A promising curse
.
He catches a whiff of flowers
And time
As she walks by
A smirk tainting her blood red lips
Sparkling her eyes
She finds it amusing
He finds his double hearts pounding
Rattling in his chest
Dare she get too close
He might just snap
Damn self control
.
She holsters her gun
Taps a finger to her cheek
Resting her chin in her palm
And asks if he'd like to go on an adventure
He's distracted
.
Her hair confuses him
Her eyes enchant him
And her lips mesmerize him
The voice she uses soothes him
Like a warmth he's never known
He almost tells her that
But she frowns at his far off look
A familiar term of endearment falls from her lips
And it breaks the moment
Neither seem to care
.
He asks what kind
She holds up an artifact
Manicured nails curling around it
She tells him she's become Robin Hood
Sort of
He likes a bad girl
He doesn't know about this kind though
She reassures him that she'd only stolen it back
.
Her hair lights up
Like fireflies
When she's happy
When he agrees to help
He sees her teeth as her lips stretch back
Then she walks over
Personal boundaries obliterated
Lips on now red cheeks
A warm hand on a taller shoulder
And he can't breathe
Her hair tickles him
She pulls back
Flowers quickly fading
Eyes lightening
Pupils contracting
And he finds himself smiling back
Because she is so damn irresistible
And he knows that she's dancing just like him
.
The way she talks
And walks
And smiles at him
He wants to lunge at her
And devour her
And hug her and never let go
.
She's River Song
His gun slinging
Spoiler infested
Funny
Clever
Absolutely Beautiful
Inside and out
Wife
a/n: because this is what I think the fluffier side of River and the Doctor's relationship is - the bit we get to see at least. Also, I thought that poetry format fit better for the feelings I was trying to convey rather than a traditional story format. However, because I'm very, very new to poetry I'd be delighted if you took a moment to review and just let me know your thoughts. Thank you!
