His - First Things First

I'd like to say you charmed me with...;
I know you want to hear,
...with your mind.

First things first.

I saw you before I met you.
Meandering your way through the crowd of guests,
Those endless looking legs displayed.
Though you had a smile perpetually fixed,
Your eyes told a different story.

I smelled you at at an arm's length.
Lemons?
I wonder why...

Heard your voice in conversation,
Polite tone of no nonsense,
Sweet with a hint of viciousness.
Melodious, enthralling;
Must have led many a man to their doom.

My drink,
On your dress?
Couldn't have planned it better myself.
Unfortunately
That indeed was an accident.
Perfect opening.

We spoke.

You captured my mind,
Heart.
But before all else,
You had my body.

**I laugh as I type the last two lines. It is true, ain't it?

Life Formula

Doing things the usual way
Brings known, repetitive, successful results.
This holds true for most things.
Consistency is the name;
Tried and tested is the ad campaign.
Measurable, quantifiable.
Add the element of chance and the game changes.
Sure, it is good to stick with a winning formula.
This only works in a lab.
Try the lab of life; experiment on repetitive, successful outcomes.
Oh, don't forget to add the elements of risk and chance.
See how your life formula turns out.
Risk and chance: Erratic, and never defined,
Of no fixed value, yet must be ever present in your equation.
Get a tried, tested and true formula for life,
And get back to me.
