When Dressed to Kill

this is not entirely untrue ..

When Dressed to Kill

 

She was quite unique

and in her

own way, stood out

from the crowd,

like the front bonnet

of a metallic

British Racing Green

Alfa Romeo ..

In fact, it was whilst

she was still

firing blindly like that,

from the hip

and on all cylinders ..

Like some

manic assassin,

in tears, tiara and her

torn matching

green silk party dress ..

That I just so

happened, to catch

sight of all

the charcoal black

mascara

smeared unladylike,

across each

of her flushed cheeks ..

And she began

to pick over those

numerous,

anonymous human

remains laying

still and face down,

in such

hideous and very

long rows

piled high in deep

uncaring gutters ..

And when

precisely it dawned

on me in

a world of back

on back

uncertainties, I was

sure if looks

could kill, then she

would have

clearly made one hell

   of a serial killer ..

Yeah, I've seen that look too!
In fact it was the last time someone asked me if their bum looked big in this dress. Okay, maybe I shouldn't have said "don't blame the dress fat arse, blame all the cakes and biscuits!"
Come to think of it I think we split up not long after. Can't remember why though!

Lol, I'll tell you something, when I put on a pencil skirt and heels, I feel like I'm shooting from the hip on all cylinders! Wow, I'd love to know the inspiration behind this one!

[Neville]

That's just one way I picture you Kelly .. thanks for taking a peek and if you really wanna know .. all you have to do is ask .. Neville

Beauty can be a grand disguise for what lies inside the heart of women and men alike. Snakes in a garden of grandeur

[Neville]

Profoundly accurate statements like that don't come along too often these days .. thanks I'll take it .. Neville

[Poetic Beauty]

You are welcome. We have to be careful of the illusion of the package on the outside.

[Senu Jayasinghe]

Wow. Love the last bit. A killer beauty.

[Neville]

Thanks a million Senu .. 😎👍

Oh gosh, where did your brain go for this one my dear friend. I see so many different ideas that could be the reason she was unique... but perhaps this might not be as it seems on the surface...
Lisa, finally getting back to some reviewing..

I learnt a long time ago that not everything is what it might first seem to be ..and particularly from the outside .. its a bit like that old saying you shouldn't judge a book by its cover .. The lady in question that served to inspire this particular scribble was a very attractive narcissistic gold digger .. I heard only recently she is on hubby number five or maybe six .. who knows and who cares .. Thanks for popping in Lisa fgbtsr .. Hope to hear from you again .. Neville just on his way out to pick up his granddaughter for the day ..

Even with negative things like that in our lives we have them in our memories and every so often those memories appear.. The longer we live the more negative and positive things happen... That's life...right..
Lisa, getting ready for lunch and then continuing to organise the under built.... never a dull moment..

Absolutely write 👍

[Dylan Macadham]

This one grips me on a visceral level! Still pondering who She is ... wondering if she represents All mass killers. ... Don't tell me mate, I'm liking the pondering :)

[Neville]

Thanks Dylan., No worries I wouldn’t dream of spoiling it for you.. Neville 😎
