Boy, find someone of your age
Not just I'm way older
I am menopausing, she dismissed my pursual 

She happened to be one of my customers
I used to eagerly look forward to her visit 
To my shop for the ritualistic grocery shopping

She wasn't hot 
Rather she was homely
But striking her simplicity intensified my desire for her
The graze of our fingers
The lingering hungry look in my eyes 
She knew but didn't bother

That drizzly noon when she visited my shop
Drenched and shivering
I invited her inside for shelter

The storm outside 
And the storm within
I blurted out my desire
When she feebly dismissed my feelings

Ma'am, with due respect
When a man pauses between your legs
Men O Pause
You live once again

Saying so, I ate her ravenously 
Pulling down the shutters.
