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.

What a great title for your poem! and I really love the progression of the "relationship" from two very different perspectives. Excellent write!

[Patricia B. Hepler]

The title fits this poem perfectly. I felt anger at the guy; empathy for the young lady. Her insecurities fit his prey instincts and he pounced.
This is well structured and meaningful~ pat

I love this! Most of your writing seems to be unusual but still formal. It's a really great style. The way I see it, your writing is hardly controllable. It wants to veer off the normal path, but you only allow a small trail from the formality that other people write with. You are a beautiful writer, honestly.

NICELY DONE!! well written :D

[Joshua Colky]

I love love love the images that are drawn from these complex, well worded lines. Every single syllable is inspiring and makes me want to run off on a tangent of my own, I found this work inspiring enough to start crafting the moment I was finished. I love how you use very small, contrite lines to convey large, overwhelming mental emotional and physical interest. Very nice.

If "he" turns out to be worthy, cling to him. If you are doubtful...let go, fast!

I did in fact run for the hills, darling.

Ran until I found the man whom inspired "would it be too much".

Wow. I like it!

I like the places you take me in your poetry. This poem allowed the reader to fall into many situations. The title was very good. Hard to find hope and promise in men with their own goals in hand. No weakness in this amazing poem. I had to red a few times for the pleasure of the story.

This really does well to reflect the title and what it stands for. It's not written in the same old stuffy style, personally I would give this an A. A poem well written.
