just another day in the country
on the back roads I’m all alone
walking to improve my energy
A text rings on my cellular phone

“hey babe, what are you up too?”
asks my ex, who wants me back
I reply, “just started walking…”
then suddenly, I stop in my tracks

this man, he pulls up along side me
I turn, looking him straight in the face
I’m startled now as I meet a stranger
he smiles and says, “how is your day?”

immediately, I analyze this situation
with woods on both sides of us there
I’m unable to outrun him, or his vehicle
I could reach for my gun, if surely I dare

terror instantly grips my existence
thinking my life he soon could take
but he quickly realizes my resistance
breaks out a smile that lightens his face

with his eyes ahead into the future
and a strong grasp firmly on the past
he laughs as he speaks confidently
“you and me… we are meant to last”

just as quickly as he has intruded
he speeds off, like a bat out of hell
looking at me in his side view mirror
he proclaims loudly, “I don’t kiss and tell!”

shaken severely by this idiot’s audacity
he obviously hasn’t a bit of shame
and I couldn’t help but oddly wonder
if he is serious about playing this game

what kind of a man takes such a risk
coming onto a woman he’s never met
who all alone she has been struggling
in a complex history that’s hard to forget

well, I embed this jerk in my memory
and begin walking at a faster pace
wanting to get home in a hurry now
needing to forget I ever saw his face

then suddenly he drove again by me
pulls off the road and there he sat
staring, he watches me walk past him
I just knew I was under his attack

but again he did nothing against me
he just wants me to feel his control
and the last time I could see his eyes
I felt his power take hold of my soul

the rest of the walk I look behind me
I’m afraid he’ll come for me again
until finally I’m in my yard at home
with much relief to be away from him

unlocking the door I enter the foyer
hang the keys in their normal place
walk quickly to my desk and computer
happy to be here, and believe I’m safe

with mouse in hand, I click on my email
as it quickly opens the first thing I see
under ‘from’ it reads, “guess who this is?”
under ‘subject’, “miss me yet?” glares at me

incredulous, I sit back in my chair
thoughts scrambling, what does he want
how did he find me out there, and in here
I feel like a mouse, the cat has finally caught…

to be continued… :heart::heart:

If the rat knows its way around...It could lead the cat into a deep pit. Never let him see or feel his influence over your strength.

Hi Muaness... I've missed you, my friend... it's good to hear from you... thanks for stopping by...flowerforyou

I think all he felt yesterday was my fear...
even tho I tried to appear untouched by his unexpected presence...
and he seemed to enjoy the power he had over me in the seclusion
of these woods... I was so scared I even called and texted my ex
to come save me from this stranger... but he didn't get my message
for hours... so I could have been in serious trouble if he had true designs to hurt me...
I just never know what's in the minds, and behind the actions of men who want what they want...

Does the cat stand a chance?


I've never seen a cat not catch his prey
if he stays alert
and is quick about it
It's when he just teases it
grabbing it in his teeth
then dropping it to watch it run
so he can chase after it in play
that gives the mouse time
to scope out the surroundings
and find the nearest escape route
then the chase and capture
begins again another day
in another place
it just depends on how determined
the cat is to get what he ultimately wants
:heart::heart:

I thought a little play before dinner is healthy!

I think its Topsy Turvy and that the cat has fallen head over heels for the mouse which way the story will unfold in the poem still remains a mystery and it should remain a mystery so we keep waiting eagerly for you to write more :D
