Sultry girl looks up from her mirror
Spies the world flitting by
Thinks I’m all but ready to go.
Her eyes and lips smell of magic
Intrigue and mystery from every pore
She thinks who shall it be tonight
Some guys just want mystery
But everyone loves the magic.
On the street she is queen
Strutting her stuff,
Flaunting for all to see
It’s all lust and carnal desire.
Men stop and stare from cars
Wondering if they could afford
This woman, this enigma strolling along.
For this is her domain
Her kingdom
Her body language says
Go home if you can’t play the game.
Sultry girl looks up
Sees the stopped red car
A hand comes forth
Cash bills in his hand
She approaches and makes the deal.
Driving off she sets the man wild
Never once cracks a smile
She’s a pro through and through.
After in her mirrored room
She counts her cash
Strips off her face
Puts on fluffy slippers
An old chenille gown
Looks again into her reflection
Puts back her homely smile
Calls to her dad
Is he ready for tea?

Good stuff. There are two sides — even if we only see/want to see one.
Even a goddess has fluffy slippers on off days.
Thank you so much, yes there are so often two sides to every person…..thanks for stopping by.
We have many roles, wear many masks. Different jobs, different perspectives.
Nicely done.
You nailed that walk on the wild side, Michael. Wow. I listened to the song while reading this (a couple of times). I loved your ending, and so thankful she had a place to go home to, a dad to make tea for . . .powerful stuff.
Thank you Mandy, it’s a powerful song.
This is such a riveting read – love the fact that you have shown two sides 🙂
It’s true. It’s impossible to dive all the way down, beyond the black crevasse, to know another soul completely. Is it humbling or comforting?
Hello, thanks for stopping by.
Most times for me it is humbling as I’m exploring another personality/ character.
Looking forward to your prompt today.
