I really never wanted
to be a pretty girl
mingling in tide pools
of other pretty girls
I want to rise matchless
against the posing stars
scintillating in my flame
branding your secrets
with fingertip perfume
and you will smell me
in the center of a thousand pretty smiles
and cry for depths and thirsting
when I make my own wine
and frost your glass with breath
of lip petal glossing
should you ever dive
the wilds of these waters
and swim open mouthed
against froth of pinked waves
when there is no salt
on other lips like mine
and I am your woman there
in never forget oceans
what of pretty girls
I will breathe
and you will know it
by name

Heather, this is just beautifully written, and so alluring. While the prettiness may be a first magnet, what is below that prettiness is really what counts.
In your case, you actually got it both ways, you are a beautiful gifted person who happens to be pretty as well.
Thank you for kindest compliments, my friend. You are so right. I have seen some beautiful people that lost all allure when the true self surfaced. Besides, youth and ideal beauty are fast fading.
Yes Heather, I used to be young AND beautiful.....now I am only AND.
I am sure Mr T. will treasure this sensuous piece of alluring metaphor forever dear Heather. A gasp of a read and a first class write.
I surely hope so! Thank you for kind replies, dear Fay. It means much 💞
Wow! A real beauty, Heather. A breathtaking tribute to a lucky man.
