�You�re too tempting,�
he whispered through
processed blonde and hair spray
into an ear throbbing to listen.

Smooth movements of syllabic symphonies
promised tongue baths,
full body massages,
rose petals,
chivalry,
fucking unicorns.

Despite how gloriously glib
the hiding suitor was,
kohl lined eyes ached to see
the source of hot breath
and hot words,
sticky with promise.
Despite every alarm calling off,
velvet rouged lips twisted into
a heart shaped wry grin.

A foolish girl turns
to belie every fantasy she has ever had,
her sultry Cheshire face
fell perplexed, showing her age
as she stared through cigarette smoke
at the bald 40 year old
without charm.
