Here she comes a toast to Dame Cover Girl a lust for cameras leaks through her stare. She'll pierce your heart and soul like an arrow She'll mix her magic into a snare. She'll knock on love's door and when she stuns you you're sure that she's not lying. But when she's done with her games you're left in misery and pain in the silence. Oh she'll sit near your corner in a low cut dress she's got legs forever and you're mind's in a mess. She smokes Parliment Lights and blows you a kiss. and she'll roll you her eyes she's a cat on the prowl she's got the scent of the moon and an angel's smile. Here she comes her finest face done in fashion a host of beauty secluding beware. She'll spread her vines around your blue passion she'll host your pride while you're unaware. She'll knock on love's door and when she stuns you you're sure that she's not lying. But when she's done with her games you're left in misery and pain in the silence. |

ETHome~ A wonderfully enjoyable read. And my full-of-'Sunshine' friend is right ... it DOES have that Billy Joel feel. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I would like to thank all for their kind words of agreement. Jon I know there are men that act the same way and they are guilty of emotional rape. Beauty certainly is not the premiere quality one should seek when searching for a soul mate. I am not saying all beautiful women are like the one depicted in this poem but more often than not, it turns out that way. Thanks once again to all who appreciated the content of this poem. Special thanks to those two (M.T. & S} who likened this poem to a Billy Joel style song. I am going to kiss both of them just as soon as I can!! |

Fantastic imagery in this poem ethome...you captured the scene, the woman, the feeling and tied it all up with poetic talent. Well done! (PS...if I say Billy Joel, can I get a kiss too?) |

She Is Suffering Beauty finds refuge in herself Lovers wrapped inside each others lies Beauty is such a terrible thing She is suffering yet more than death She is suffering She sucks you deeper in She is suffering You exist within her shadow Beauty she is scarred into man's soul A flower attracting lust, vice and sin A vine that can strangle life from a tree Carrion, surrounding, picking on leaves She is suffering She sucks you deeper in She is suffering You exist within her shadow Beauty she poisons unfaithful all Stifled, her touch is leprous and pale The less she gives the more you need her No thoughts to forget when we were children Richey Edwards. Ethome, a wonderfully written poem. lots to think about here. "I am melancholy, flower cutting through stone" manic street preachers |

Good description of a person that is a user. BEWARE - beauty is only skin deep. |

Tis true the saying "Beauty is only skin deep".........but I think we all at some point have to experience this to really understand. Funny, but in the long run they will be the ones in misery, pain, and silence. And we will be better of for learning their lesson. Sorry, I am rambling.......I liked it alot! Jenn E |

she's got the scent of the moon and an angel's smile. Here she comes her finest face done in fashion a host of beauty secluding beware. She'll spread her vines around your blue passion she'll host your pride while you're unaware. She'll knock on love's door and when she stuns you you're sure that she's not lying. But when she's done with her games you're left in misery and pain in the silence. Beautiful piece and much to consider and ponder. With the scent of the moon and an angel's smile.....how could any human man resist?!!!!!!??? Not gonna happen |

Thanks Parker...serves you right for fooling around with those eastern shore girls, they'll get ya evertime. I'm glad what's his name was not mentioned. Thanks again. Thank you Dsnyder for the comment I appreciate it so much. Thanks ddgoose...those users are out there and I feel sorry for them if that's all they're going to get out of life. Thanks Jenn E and I agree with you they will be the ones to end up lonely and sad. Thank you Maureen you are right the door does'nt have to be opened. Thank you Butterflies for the fine comments. |

Funny how this is what society dictates that women strive for this, isn't it? Such a shallow, meaningless path, and yet men have fallen for it for years, being ruled by the wrong brain it would seem! Corinne |

Great description, and great imagery of this piece about this woman Ethome. Unfortunately, I knew some ladies that fit your descripton and believe me, it doesn't feel good to have your love taken for granted. Thanks for sharing, Nathan |

Thanks Nate .. I know what you mean but I don't like to place all women in that catagory...I recieve them all as individuals .. as you can realize from reading at this poetry that there are so many women out there that are such beautiful people...thanks again |

*sigh* Yes true, but then I have known many people who are users, attractive and not so, so you cant go on looks, or nonlooks alone. The only way I think is time. Eventually their true self shows through, its a shame we get hurt in the meantime. "A clay pot sitting in the sun will always be a clay pot. It has to go through the white heat of the furnace to become porcelain." --Mildred W. St |

Yes I know what you mean Tess and you are right. It just seems that more often than not the extremely attractive ones let it go to their head then it changes their perception of life.....Thanks very much for your comments, glad to hear from you. |
