Lifetime with a Call Girl

Truly unruly was she, but he loved her. Changing the mange of a call girl might burn Jude. Barb accepted diamond bling-ring with a purr. This bombshell morsel, would trick him - he’d be screwed, As this fox sought payment to become his wife. She’d even take double for days without strife. Without thought, he’d give in to his blackmailer, Like a siren calls to a cockcrow sailor.

The ending is most fitting. He is just like a sailor at the mercy of a siren.

Ha, ha. Between Scylla and Charybidis, there's not much room to maneuver. ~ gw

Thanks for teaching me the lesson of choosing between two evils. I had not heard of Scylla and Charybdis. Teaching an old dog new tricks…well I’m older, at best, and definately not a dog. Blessings, my friend Gershon!

Love is too blind sometimes! Mismatched people when coming together in marriage, will end up in gutters. Let us wait and see how it is going to end up. However, it arouses our curiosity. The very title sparked an amount of suspense and wonder!

Engaging poetry, Kim. You paint the picture well with your poetic words. We live in a world where those that try to help are often treated worse than the ones they try to help, by the very people they help. Intriguing poem, my friend. Bill

such an engaging poem, Kim. I often see the juxtaposition of love with manipulation, deceit and desire, etc., a concept at the core of this relationship. Although I don't 'get' that type of relationship, who am I to question or judge it. Whatever floats their boat, I suppose. Creative and unique, Kim. Enjoy your evening. Sara

Love knows no bounds--if they were happy, that's all that matters. A unique poem, Kim.

Kim, we've probably all seen relationships like this. Funny how you say he'd be screwed. It's always interesting to get to know people and see if we can figure out what holds a pair together. You're prompting me to analyze more couples (lol). I am not envious of guys married to a "bombshell." There's a lot more to life. Of course if one loves the package, it can work no matter what. Hope Jude was happy for a long time, but I wonder.

LOL, that you are now analyzing more couples. I find myself doing that. My mom and dad had a love that doesn’t compare to most, but still everyone has their unique way of sharing a marriage for better or worse. Here we don’t find the outcome. ;)

Dear Kim, Wow your poem delves into the complexities of love, trust, and vulnerability. Through great imagery and poignant language, you explore the tumultuous relationship between Jude and the call girl. The juxtaposition of love and manipulation creates a powerful narrative, highlighting the often blurred lines between desire and deceit. Kim you skillfully capture the essence of human emotions and the challenges of navigating relationships in a world of temptation and betrayal. - Blessings, Daniel
