They were staring at her, but that was OK, she was staring back, gaze avaricious. because they were hers - had always been hers -. and she would have them back.
Needed them back.
She was going in.
Reaching out, intending to softly brush the top of them with a careful finger, her hand…

Softly the wind blows against my cheek
Intangible kisses laid over my temple
Caressing my skin the way you would

The way he spoke to her made me shiver, he uses big words to her like intangible, thinking she doesn’t know what it means, but he doesn’t know what she’s capable of, so she just lets him rant and rave. He will soon know again what it’s like to be with a woman, if he ever had been with one. As he plays a game with a now grown woman, she realizes how softly she strokes the heads of her clients at th...
Love is an intangible emotion.
Stronger than any potion;
Giving you the notion
That someone really cares.
Love softly caresses your heart;
All the while tearing it apart;
So sweet and vicious;
I’d rather be avaricious,

I deal in Fast and the Furious philosophy
As I tread softly down a quarter mile track
Head on a swivel
Factual avaricious
As I find the intangible delicious
The pistol in my mouth makes me taste gun metal
