Love Poem: A Lady's Man

A Lady's Man

Tall and tan, velvet skin aglow
   His smile, a film star's photo
Sure of himself, he walked with a swagger
   A lady's man, his smooth tongue a dagger

Talented too, a budding young artist
   Painting portraits, positively the tartest  
Portrayals of la forma femme you ever did see
   A lady's man, footloose and carefree

He'd ply them with wine, lure them with words
   inviting them to his studio with clichés so absurd 
But they fell for him hard, he played the game well
   as he dragged them to bed for a night of lovemaking in Hell... 

They awakened the next morning to an empty bed
   Their fast-talking artist had conned them and fled
A lady's man to the end, footloose and carefree
   His life ever-lonelier, an empty sex-spree
