She Ruined It

Definitely don't judge a book by her cover

When I first beheld you I was stricken

Of your countenance I could not compare

I was yours at your behest

Should I approach you?  I wouldn’t dare

 

My thoughts played out the scene

Where I was all you wanted

We would meet in a secret place

And afterwards you would leave me haunted

You would disable me with your gaze

And waste no precious time

And leave me with a rare encounter

That would give me inspired rhyme

 

As I moved to where you were

To begin our great love affair

You looked at me and spoke

…and my fantasy turned to despair.

 

Your face and your sleek body

Was not all that you were

Did you know that your thoughts betrayed you?

All they did was make it worse.

You turned from suave to silly

No longer refined

You sounded grossly immature

All you could do was whine

In the blink of an eye the attraction was over

I was your slave no more

For the impression I had put upon you

Was based on the dress that you wore

The worldly, sexy temptress

Was all a mirage

What you were was a shallow tease

Trying to flirt with a forward massage

 

I moved on my way from you, silly girl

An adolescent who is most absurd

You failed to realize the captivating power

That comes from a well spoken word

This one is a little light hearted, but still true to form

I think this is super. From a woman's point of view I can say this holds equally true. We admire someone from a distance based on how they look. The way their hair falls or how they look in those jeans. So disappointing when they open their mouths and the words spill out. A pretty face is not so rare but a beautiful mind is a rare gem. Especially one that compliments your own. A fine write. Nice flow, bit of humour with splash of wisdom.

This one was a pleasure to do. A fun way to tackle something that irks me some. I'm happy this appealed to you as well. Thanks for the read and review!

You're welcome. It was my pleasure. :)

Ah. Such a clever write.
How many times have we thought something was a certain way, as the presentation sold it as such, and then once we experienced it for ourselves, it was so completely different.
I loved how you brought forth that message perfectly.
Your descriptive words, truly brought a smile.
Well done.

This one was fun to do. How many people do we know would be so much better in our minds if they just didn't say anything? What someone says and how they speak changes how I see them.

As always thanks for reading.

Most definitely. I truly agree. It makes a huge difference.
