FORWARD STEPS BACK

He comes in and moves with the warm summer breeze.
He smiles but does not speak.
His presence is made known without warning.
He is timid, but knows what he wants.
He can spook; he is a spirit.

She places a few toes forward then steps them back;
Behind her heal is where she likes to hide
She notices his fluctuations move about his face
She seems to take this with surprise he seems pleased but why
She has denied him so many times not a rejection
She has and eye on another her prey has been matched

She no longer has a prey and he no longer wears a smile
A bundle of filler has been placed on her toes she can no longer dance
A bundle of resentment has been placed on his movement

No longer than a warm summer breeze can last
The three have traveled the xyz over a convex so vast
A three journeyed kismet will never last
