PRINCE CHARMING

This is

A cautionary tale

For girls in the club

Who might get

Whisked away

In a whirlwind of love

By a guy promising

Everything

But surely

As the earth spins

And the stars hang 

In the firmament

Above

His words are

Tinged with lies

Don’t stare

Into his eyes 

Be vigilant

And wise

There’s no

Curbing his lust

But if you are

To come out

Of the situation

With an

Earned win

You must

Studiously

Observe him

Whereby

The conniving

Sly jerk will

Be sussed

And that’s how

You can

Unreservedly crush

His whole world

Into dust

I was in the foyer

When I saw ya

From across

The room

I had you

In my crosshairs

Locked and zoomed

I came up

That is, sauntered

And said,

“I like your aura

Can I holler?”

“Are you a boxer

Like Oscar...

De la Hoya?

With that

Knockout outfit

What, you say

Your name’s

Deborah?”

“On the surface

You seem rather

Tame and demure 

But, I reckon

You could be

A Hollywood star

Like Demi Moore was

Now she’s washed up

But indeed

You should be

On the red carpet”

(Now, in my mind I believe she’s my next target)

“On my side

Of the room

I was bored

So I thought

I’d come over

To yours

To see what’s up

With confidence

I of course

Struck up

A conversation”

“Wanna dance?

Let’s cut up

The floor/rug

Turn the boards

Into sawdust

I hope what

I said before

Wasn’t

I mean

Didn’t sound

At all, suspect

Far-fetched”

“Let’s get away

From this immense

Booming noise

And dense darkness

Come back

To my rented den

Apartment”

“Why?

Cause people

Like us aren’t

Meant to be apart”

“Come,

You’re feeling

Tense aren’t ya?

I got a Mercedes-Benz

Car, get.. in!

I’m living life

In the busy, fast lane

Thankfully

I had you plied

With some

Fizzy champagne”

“My little toy

Sit back and enjoy

What you physically

Can’t change

I know

You must be

Feeling fear

And the chills

And I’m sure

Tears will

Get spilled”

“But we’re

Approaching

The spot now

Where things

Will be

Clearly revealed”

“My goodness 

You’re the

Hottest babe

And I’m

Intoxicated 

From beer

And the pills

But listen

You little dear

Come here

And sit still…”
