No bells or whistles went off, no sound no sneeze nor cough.

You snuck right in, like unholy sin, again I take it on the

chin. You purred like a hungry kitten, mesmerized and docile

I’m once again bitten.

 

No bells or whistles went off in my head, as I lie perplexed

on my sofa bed. How did this happen with my lips tightly

pursed, you spoke with a forked tongue your performance well

rehearsed.

 

A connoisseur of folly I rise to my feet, with dunce cap and

stool I am fully complete. Why the hell do I keep taking you

back, is it because of love or just a nice rack? One of these

days I’ll come to my senses and look beyond shallow petty

pretenses.

Delightful! Love can often be the source of our confusion. Emotions play their role all the time. They own and consume us, the entirety of us. We think we have control on our emotions, but they in fact, have control over us.

Very well written.

[My Fair Lady]

Why do we fall into those traps of emotion? Familiarity of sorts I suppose. This is powerful and speaks volumes.

"Why the hell do I keep taking you back,
is it because of love or just a nice rack?
One of these days I’ll come to my senses
and look beyond shallow petty pretenses. "

Well spoken! But hard to do. This thing called love, or attraction? we never really know the difference, do we? The line becomes a blur when emotions are involved! Awesome writing!

[Poetic Beauty]

Wow, this is in your face and open. the last line says it all and sums this strong piece up. You flow is smooth and the imagery is amazing.
