Looking for her self-esteem behind every zipper in town

2012 has blessed me with new vision.

He's awfully chivalrous for carrying such casual intent

as his blend of canny ways are filled with filthy desire.

 A finicky facade leaving room for discontent

 yet the helpless girl can't help but admire

meanwhile, to herself, she's being a liar. 

 Could she deny this mans selfish pursuance?

Her misinterpretations are inevitable

a genitive surefire. 

He'll maintain his obvious avoidance for exclusivity

she'll claim to have been perpetually blinded by his witty ways

 but she induced her own misfire. 

Those eyes of his will misconstrue

betting on the fact she'll negate her own savvy finesse

that self proclaimed ability to see through.  

Inevitably he'll be praised and built up as a statue

 like his soul

he'll be mended of stone,

in the interim

she'll be gazing pitifully 

into shades of blue.

Wow! I am loving this write. How I have missed you is beyond me. I somehow stumbled by here and then found this work of... sadly i have been one of these... .. ..this work of art.

Well said. Says so much in a rather "hold it far out in front and hold your nose" sort of way. Loved it. Truth lives here. Hopefully out blunders serve to make us wiser. Hope so. Otherwise I' just a dumb chick with a list of stupid mistakes in my past. Thanks for this.

Loved this Hunter and prey theme. It holds so many truths about so many relationships. Well done. Your witty choice of words strung together adds to the allure.

CASSANDRA!!!! As they do in all the beatnik cafes snap snap snap snap snap!!! of the fingers for this....You use these BIG BAD scary words that are sooo intimidating....words like..."on"...and..."the" LoL That was a joke obviously...This poem on the other hand is quite opposite....I'll say it again, the great and amazing thing about you is the fact that you use those HUGE words in such an even flow...Such a great capacity of these words should never ever!!! be used in a poem all at once...That is unless you are an artist...And you are definitly just that...Either you are going to be a professor of literature at Harvard or Yale...Or you are just that great with words and such a sense and flow effect that it just comes naturally and there can be no other explenation...Anyway, and Either way, you are extremely brilliant...The connection you weave between the two subjects of your poem is very..well...very like every man and woman out there.....Up and down, you hurt me, I hurt you....The wonderful thing that is the made up complications of attraction and love in a way....That is my interpretation, even if its totally off, this is still an amazing poem...Very strong and rugged..Yet smooth...Keep it up!!!
