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.

This is deep. I cant help but think that sometimes using more common language might at times be more appropriate at this site? I could be very wrong.

Now why would I want to conform to something deemed common?

[soliloquy]

:0). Very true. I see your point.

"Her misinterpretations are inevitable
a genitive surefire."

That is good. An artful, and, as much of the piece, encoded expression of her inner frustration. A very interesting "he wins, she loses" take on this particular courtship. It's almost as though she is this helpless flower that a man--a MAN comes and roughly plucks, inhales her scent and then tosses her away, no longer attached to the health she knew, nor aimed at the suns rays.

Grammatically, I would write "filled of" as "filled with" or "full with" or "full of."

Cassandra you sure do dance a good quick step ,right on every beat and que,It is not that I am lazy, I can dance too ,but just not with words,I need a fiddle and a wood floor for a smooth soft shoe.

I like this poem very much. The real message within itself is how it truly stands out as great poem. Great job. :)
