Sparkles and Glitter

You never ever Shoulda walked in this bar It's a million miles away From who you think you are Music intoxicates More than the Rum and Coke That pretty girl smiling Causes a lump in your throat Sparkles and glitter Red shoes with high heels Her dress is too short You love what it reveals Yet something ain't right She's not your baby She's sweet bitter temptation Disguised as a lady She walks on over Sits down right next to you Asks you for a drink One leads to quite a few Nothing else seems to matter As she gazes in your eyes You imagine paradise As you reach between her thighs Sparkles and glitter Red shoes with high heels Her dress is too short You love how she feels Yet something ain't right She's not your baby She's sweet bitter temptation Disguised as a lady Laughter and whispers Promises lead to dark places Looking for something In tight hot hidden spaces Yet liars are liars You can read it on their faces You give up on forever Just because your pulse races Sparkles and glitter Lay in a pile on the floor When the sun rises You don't want her any more Guilt you can't escape When you look in the mirror You wish you could convince yourself that the temptress led you here!

Brilliant! Just everything works and I can hear this as a song. You captured how much the raw desire made for a vacuum in emptiness. Rhyme scheme is fun, story excellent, emotion...devestating! I like your PS remark about "the branches" and that one line summarizes the poem. Just perfect Rick!

I don't do one night stands for this very reason. Great story as always, Richard. You certainly have a gift for story telling. Peace my friend:)

Temptation...a one-night stand, followed by guilt and remorse. No good blaming it on others...not going to change anything! Great story in poetic words, Richard! // paul

Richard, oh so deep and dark, many a man and even woman has taken that path of one night of desire to wake in the morning to a nightmare they want to run from, wonderful 7 ~

this is a GREAT morality tale for cheaters. It reminds me of that great new pop song (of course right now I can't even recall it) I really enjoyed seeing this one today.

Excellent story Richard. I admit after my divorce I went down this path once. I was full of regret, remorse, guilt and just felt horrible for weeks. I cant imagine how people do it. I need the love.

Richard Lamoureux

I too need the love. So many throw it away for nothing of substance.

Wow....this is such a write, Richard. The momentary gratification of lust often leads to unwanted results. Great write... skirt is TOO short. ;) Extra O....as in OOOOOOOO. ;) Hugs
