I won her heart
with the scent of rose
with soft words
I beguiled her
I offered her
a drink, silky like a
polished stone
churning in a rough sea
So we could be together
slip and slide
through eternity

Her code name was Vesper
she was both slippery & sly
downing a cocktail
when she caught my eye
devious and calculating
using her female wiles
all the traits of espionage
a thigh profile top spy
driving #deluxe cars
dropping out of planes
winning in casinos
running on the roof of trains

Some people
pack their lives
into a single
piece of luggage
while others fill
houses with
deluxe objects
own sprawling mansions
indulge in possessions

It took something
smaller than a speck
to create this world
full of living beings
and now the world
flourishes
there are those
that wish to destroy
this world that once
was so pure.
