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 excellent, brimming with truth and written with such wisdom and finesse. I really enjoyed it.

[Ahmad Cox]

I really enjoyed this one. There is a lot of complex social interplay that I really appreciate.

[Ian H Morrison]

excellent love the way that the meters are ran into each other evolving into the brilliant stanzas which in turn builds up this amazeing poem it is strong and powerfully written

[Pax]

[Eloha]

This remarkably layered and intelligent. The complexity is superior to many things I have read here in the past few days.

The title is very much something I find important, and yours is catchy and original.

Hope the light switch is not too far from the door,great mental meandering,

[Echo of the Heart]

So sad yet so true. Far too many times, we try to find self-worth and value inside the bed of another. Because for that moment, someone else loves us. Or at least thats how we see it.

[Antonio Valentino]

love it.. reminds me of me.. lol!

Your poem has an interesting way of predicting the social interactions of people. We try to create an avatar of a person and speculate how they might react to what we do, with the intent that maybe we can be more successful that way. The lines are expressive and the words well-chosen.

[Jeremy Baker]

There is a harsher and uglier truth behind the inevitability of this descriptive masterpiece. The reader has little choce but to be drawn in to the wordplay and imagery, but the journey is certainly worth it. Very enjoyabloe read!
