The Wanted Guest

 

One day he arrived with his bodyguards. 

All smiles and without a care in the world. 

An inner voice warned me be stay on guard-

sweet bully he was, not to be revered.  

I set up dinner, he said he was full. 

I offered him a drink but he declined. 

He said - relax cousin, release the pull,

I just want to chat if you are inclined-

So passed the eve with long, colourful tales. 

And his sweet talks sounding even sweeter. 

He talked, I listened - his journeys and sails. 

A master at work to ease the bitter. 

But I was cautious of his subtle charm-

The wanted guest with his wide open arms.
