The felt is a kingdom of velvet and green,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0WRuKbaTI
Where he plays the monarch, the king of the scene.
Balls stood in waiting, polished and clean,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteDAod1ukf
Loyal subjects awaiting their king and queen.
As he built the perimeter, careful and slow,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91PSbSCJil
Mistaking possession for something to know.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ci1vM4N2z
"The game is like you," he purred, close to my ear,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5qNje0DDC
"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,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyPR4mRMaB
A flick of the wrist, marking something as a half practiced challenge.
The crack of the break echoed through the hall,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykJGfBmF7A
And the balls scattered wide like a kingdom's fall.
He chalked his cue and studied the spread,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YS8vm9eDy
Mapping victories inside his head.
He caught my eye, his grin slow and venomously sweet:133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVEvREnluN
"Don't look so bored," he teased with a bite,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDokQcc2Zn
"I’m just clearing the path so you have nowhere left to hide tonight."
His knuckles grew tinted in blue; a sharp cobalt dye,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq81I1sf3c8
A smudge of obsession in the corner of his eyes.
He builds a firm bridge with a hand cold as slate,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6srE1iHsCk
Dictating the collision, to decide my fate.
"The angles are perfect," he whispered, eyes keen,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmprn1nJUFF
"Every path on this table leads home to me; can't you see what I mean?"
He believed control lived within the cue,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEFf9tX9tP
While fate hid itself in what I would do.
He aimed for the pockets in sight,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvVIpH57uj
I aimed for the man behind the strike.
Bank shot, side shot, his focus precise;133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQp4wIsppK
He fenced every angle and called it his right.
The cue ball danced at the mercy of his hand,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo3xif1BQg
Although desire obeys no single command.
He drew a breath and took his aim,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL8b4wLXbD
Certain this shot would seal his reign:133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprrIPfcXQr
"Watch closely, sweetheart—this seals the night;133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOP9WOhpXg
Tell me you feel it, the way you're already mine?"
The pocket welcomed the final sphere;133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAfGmsEB5G
Eight sunk — game clear.
He looked at me as champions do,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLhYUS0H0H
Expecting ownership to follow through.
He asked who won between us two.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFINkHC4Ix
I smiled and chalked another cue.
He called the play; I called his bluff.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxtCKdQZQa
For wanting a crown is never enough.
I smiled.
For while he conquered every ball to prove me wrong,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZlsyT5fsV
The table had been mine all along.
Trapped in illusions, blind as could be,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI5GVYoAlB
Never noticed the game was me.
