The felt is a kingdom of velvet and green,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTzFVg9WTX
Where he plays the monarch, the king of the scene.
Balls stood in waiting, polished and clean,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP8ItGLEk1
Loyal subjects awaiting their king and queen.
As he built the perimeter, careful and slow,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MexZRvbfK
Mistaking possession for something to know.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuUzCiR0Vd
"The game is like you," he purred, close to my ear,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSfT3AeDXi
"Beautifully complex, but I know how to make you submit, so do not fear."
He leans on the table, like a predator, a little off-balance,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VG9ZxMyzu
A flick of the wrist, marking something as a half practiced challenge.
The crack of the break echoed through the hall,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf1hXL2K6d
And the balls scattered wide like a kingdom's fall.
He chalked his cue and studied the spread,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAKZK7QdSD
Mapping victories inside his head.
He caught my eye, his grin slow and venomously sweet:110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8STsIUquAh
"Don't look so bored," he teased with a bite,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1SSslcpSi
"I’m just clearing the path so you have nowhere left to hide tonight."
His knuckles grew tinted in blue; a sharp cobalt dye,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4iRDvmpbj
A smudge of obsession in the corner of his eyes.
He builds a firm bridge with a hand cold as slate,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9pSPk9sYN
Dictating the collision, to decide my fate.
"The angles are perfect," he whispered, eyes keen,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTGks8iXwP
"Every path on this table leads home to me; can't you see what I mean?"
He believed control lived within the cue,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3wHgTRfRk
While fate hid itself in what I would do.
He aimed for the pockets in sight,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5HaPA5Ghh
I aimed for the man behind the strike.
Bank shot, side shot, his focus precise;110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hsst62Pmz
He fenced every angle and called it his right.
The cue ball danced at the mercy of his hand,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54HDxgFYBV
Although desire obeys no single command.
He drew a breath and took his aim,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskSjPDSEpi
Certain this shot would seal his reign:110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xpAye5YyE
"Watch closely, sweetheart—this seals the night;110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQpcQ7y20y
Tell me you feel it, the way you're already mine?"
The pocket welcomed the final sphere;110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3uBbSkDvL
Eight sunk — game clear.
He looked at me as champions do,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ9KydMGyQ
Expecting ownership to follow through.
He asked who won between us two.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7q1WqL0lm
I smiled and chalked another cue.
He called the play; I called his bluff.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ixAnq1gaR
For wanting a crown is never enough.
I smiled.
For while he conquered every ball to prove me wrong,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QTXMOCcVu
The table had been mine all along.
Trapped in illusions, blind as could be,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQb3cYBDY6
Never noticed the game was me.
