WALK


at the end of a long day

everyone’s ready to go their own way

although it’s a couple of minutes before five

this is the time when I truly start to come alive

my senses keen, my eyes ready to stare

as I try to time it perfectly to meet the lady with long hair

her thick elevated heels are implanted in my mind

I wish I could tape her, I’d always press rewind

from the louie vaton cap to the brown suede skirt

I want to approach her, but see I’m afraid to flirt

if she only knew that on days when I don’t get to see her face

I’m upset with myself and the next day I speed up my pace

I try to hide my emotons by not smiling and such

but on the inside I’m butter, she’s just too much

I search her hands for rings of marriage or engagement

cause she can’t be alone, not with that lovely arrangement

of curves and smiles

and looks and styles

but it’s one thing that stands out above all

and it’ll bring a giant to his knees and make him fall

it’s a simple movement of one foot in front of another

but she does it in a way like I’ve seen no other

more fluent than the waves as they ride the ocean

I refer to it as “the strut� or “poetry in motion�

everytime I see it, I’m caught in a trance

from her prance, stance and lovely walk dance

in my mind I sometimes pray

that she’ll come my way

o’h, how that would make my day

here she comes, what do I say?

from left to right she moves her hips

and all I can do is sweat, and lick my lips

cause my voice is gone, I can’t even talk

I’m speechles------ from her majestic walk
