Illusional Beauty
ILLUSIONAL BEAUTY
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
As she approached we met eye to eye
I was awed by her beauty as she strolled by
I tried so hard to get her attention
This stunning example of feminine perfection
Her hair was long and freely flowing
Her lips were red her eyes were sparkling
She was pure symmetry in every respect
Nature had blessed her absent neglect
I thought she’d make a trophy wife
To have this beauty for the rest of my life
She dresses immaculately nothing is missing
Those juicy red lips I yearned to be kissing
Our children would be proud of her as a mom
I’ve got to meet her but need to stay calm
She paused then sat down at an outdoor café
I sat down beside her and said if I may?
Sure pal take a load off your feet
I saw you follow me do you want a treat
For two hundred bucks I’ll give you an hour
Includes the time needed for me to shower
I was astonished by what I had just heard
To distance myself was the action preferred
It was her beauty that blinded my senses
Her physical assets had dissolved my defenses
I had fooled myself without provocation
I need to expunge this self imposed indignation
I’ll keep baseless assumptions under control
And not forget “all that glitters is not gold”
