Don't let him sway you with his sultry rhymes Don't let him woo and steal your heart away Don't let him touch your soul with soulful lines You know, my dear, he only wants to play Don't let him tell you that you are divine Don't let him make you think that you're unique Don't let him say your eyes are pools sublime You know, my dear, he wants to make you weak He wants to break defenses and come in To taste the hidden pleasures of your heart He wants to take, to conquer, and to win and then to leave when you've been torn apart There is no greater pain than wounded pride When truth reveals betrayal's sharpened knife Revenge will be the thorn there in your side For he has taken love, and dreams and life So do not let him win in lover's game Pick up your sword and gird yourself to fight If you succumb, you will not be the same I urge you then to vanquish with your might Then still your heart and let it dormant lie Let not your eyes take in the beauty there He will not stop; he will most surely try To ravish you and leave you naked, bare So fight with all your might this war to win Don't let your guard now slip; be strong and brave take heed to what I say; don't fall in sin, for none but you, your heart and soul can save Eileen

This is very sound advice with a very beautifully crafted poem. The rhyme imagery and beat are spot on.I really can't pick a favorite verse it flows so well. I see it made poem of the week awhile back so congrats on that too. My poem " Life's Seven Seas" made poem of the week along time ago.

Looks like I was slow to join this lively train, Eileen! This poem is written with a load of experience to support it. Sweet talk can be a robber's disguise. Any trusting lady has to open her eyes before she gets sucked into a fatal whirlpool. Congrats on this being selected POTD!!! Hugs // paul
