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”
