Damsel.........55

He watched her work the room.
Sashaying from man to man,
a word, a smile, a familiar gesture,
adding to the knights around her table.

He'd been there, dazzled by her light
uplifted by her merest murmur,
taken for all he had......
and yet.....

He smiled a bitter smile...





He'd do it all again tomorrow.
