The world is darkly seductive, <br />Skirts sway with sexual promise <br />And then slip away down elusive boulevards <br />Or into perfumed hotel rooms <br />That bar my entrance. <br /> <br />A self-assured daughter <br />Of an exiled king <br />Whispers to me by roses <br />In the garden of a wealthy expatriate; <br />She kisses my cheek <br />And then sends me <br />Into the realm of oblivion. <br /> <br />I’m a solitary creature <br />With a camera mind, <br />Recording for eternity <br />Every feminine expression and wile <br />Which has led me into misery. <br /> <br />She drops her handkerchief purposely <br />And leaves it behind, <br />She turns around and smiles <br />As she notices me <br />Placing it delicately <br />Into my shirt pocket. <br /> <br />The universe has wicked plans <br />To pleasantly destroy a man, <br />And this is excruciatingly <br />The way it should be!<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/darkly-seductive/
