Through the Crack Between the Seats

By SilentStalker

*this happened yesterday...felt like sharing the experience*

I just wanted to go home...

On the bus I stepped; it was almost full
I didn't really want to sit there;
There was just no spot left but here
Minutes go by; I'm waiting, impatient
I cannot drown myself in music right now
"Excuse me, can I put this seat back a bit?"
I ask you, in my usual friendly tone
"Sure, go ahead,"...still I remember your voice
So upbeat, so beautiful, so uncaring
Now I lean back, put my shopping bag beside me
And close my eyes; time to sleep...
But I cannot; my mind is racing now...
"sure, go ahead,"...so beautiful...

I just wanted to go home...
...Now, I want you...

And you're sleeping, listening to your headphones
All stretched out, so relaxed, so lovely
(I always loved dirty blonde hair)
I just want to touch you
To smell you, taste you
But all I can do is watch you
Through the crack between the seats
Every breath you take, every limb you move
(God, I'm so hard right now)
From my seat, I try to catch your scent
I want to know about you
More than anyone does
I place my beret over my trousers
And pretend I'm asleep
Though I'm still eyeing you
Your legs, so firm
Your waist, so thin
Your hands across your stomach
Your breasts, so round, so beautiful
Your face, so pretty, so peaceful
How I'd love to stroke your hair
(Is that beret working? Can they see it?
Does anyone notice me? I hope not.)
I just want to touch you
To smell you, taste you
But all I can do is watch you
Through the crack between the seats
I'm almost home...you're waking up
As if nothing happened, I compose myself
Reach in my shopping bag, and look at my CDs
But still, I watch you
Through the crack between the seats
Every so often, glancing, dreaming
(she doesn't notice me; this is too easy)
But now it's time to go
The bus has stopped, I'm leaving
But you're going somewhere else
So I raise the seat back up
Stand up, put on my beret
And casually walk off the bus
As I watch it leave, I watch you
Stretch out again, relaxing, listening
Waiting for the next stop...

I just wanted to go home...
...Now I want you...

what an awesome poem. I think some women/girls are so beautiful. I go out of my way to tell them how beautiful or sexy they are. some have left me feeling like a pervy stalker, and I suppose its a fetish to observe people like that. but we all have a pervy side, some just show it more than others. and darun....your perv is showing. haha nice one!

I remember you telling me about this one the day you posted it. Damn, I forgot how deep some of your work gets. Mind if I borrow some of this for a subliminal in one of my more creepy songs?
