Slipping a slender strap
off a delicate shoulder
I let my silky slip
slither down to pool
around slim ankles
Gracefully I raise a lean leg
shod in red stilettoes
Stepping out
of the pool of silk
Hands on hips
I strike a pose for you
all curves and planes
peaks and shadows
I kick off my heels
Elegance in every move I make
as I glide towards you
Struck dumb by desire
You drink in the sight of me
(That’s how I imagine it)
When I slip that strap off
it refuses to slide
until my shoulders
do a vigorous shake
Far from slithering
down my body
the satin is reluctant
to part with my waist
clinging to my hips
mistakenly wanting
to guard my modesty
Finally it bunches up
around my feet
a shapeless mess
entangled with my heels
I lift a foot
the slip hangs on
Seductive pose forgotten
I struggle to
jerk it off
It twines itself
around my feet
Tripping me up
Bringing me down
in an ungainly heap
on the floor
(That’s what actually happens)
Why oh why can’t it be
the way it is in the movies?
