The felt is a kingdom of velvet and green,67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaDY7jRmas
Where he plays the monarch, the king of the scene.
Balls stood in waiting, polished and clean,67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHQD1UTkCH
Loyal subjects awaiting their king and queen.
As he built the perimeter, careful and slow,67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyYiqJwJls
Mistaking possession for something to know.67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWOaaqoE1r
"The game is like you," he purred, close to my ear,67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz0Q2WBEkB
"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,67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUi8YRTGAX
A flick of the wrist, marking something as a half practiced challenge.
The crack of the break echoed through the hall,67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx6Vtw8b3k
And the balls scattered wide like a kingdom's fall.
He chalked his cue and studied the spread,67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97rlWFIdC0
Mapping victories inside his head.
He caught my eye, his grin slow and venomously sweet:67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrhNsSrcMr
"Don't look so bored," he teased with a bite,67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GnYeyYE82
"I’m just clearing the path so you have nowhere left to hide tonight."
His knuckles grew tinted in blue; a sharp cobalt dye,67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9jRG4sa2D
A smudge of obsession in the corner of his eyes.
He builds a firm bridge with a hand cold as slate,67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14YTh0NsA3
Dictating the collision, to decide my fate.
"The angles are perfect," he whispered, eyes keen,67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7dZbuP1O6
"Every path on this table leads home to me; can't you see what I mean?"
He believed control lived within the cue,67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOexHECwWJ
While fate hid itself in what I would do.
He aimed for the pockets in sight,67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxQDPYwAAs
I aimed for the man behind the strike.
Bank shot, side shot, his focus precise;67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT2Xd7avZ7
He fenced every angle and called it his right.
The cue ball danced at the mercy of his hand,67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdtC7q9ehu
Although desire obeys no single command.
He drew a breath and took his aim,67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAyMdpD0pW
Certain this shot would seal his reign:67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndwx5VMMDy
"Watch closely, sweetheart—this seals the night;67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs6b4s6a4M
Tell me you feel it, the way you're already mine?"
The pocket welcomed the final sphere;67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYm8vwUerN
Eight sunk — game clear.
He looked at me as champions do,67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk2GHeLKBy
Expecting ownership to follow through.
He asked who won between us two.67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAc1WJHtDN
I smiled and chalked another cue.
He called the play; I called his bluff.67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMIMOMOdy2
For wanting a crown is never enough.
I smiled.
For while he conquered every ball to prove me wrong,67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4okHheyQd
The table had been mine all along.
Trapped in illusions, blind as could be,67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxrRmjxtO5
Never noticed the game was me.
