Mmeso Inspires: Mr. Wrong (Mystery Man)

There he sat, after he had entered in a caravan,

With a cape that hung down like my granny’s chandelier,

Goodness! the most handsome man I have ever behold,

I watched him talk with his friends,

Whispering at a second,

Laughing boisterously the next,

The sound of his laughter awaken in me that feeling,

I thought was numb for years,

I must make a move.

I watch him still,

Slowly eating his meals while paying attention to the men,

I love the way he chew his food,

I know Morgan chew better,

But he looks more like a rhino to me now,

After I caught him in bed with my best friend Elsie,

It’s all a memory now,

Morgan was Mr. Wrong.

Who is this dude?

That is slowly driving me nutty?

Why such dreamy eyes?

And such perfect lips?

Why smiling right there while I am drowning in love right here,

I will have to take the bull by the horn,

Pearl did it, why won’t I ?

I will have to approach him and tell him,

“You this dude, You are slowly taking me away,

To a place so far from the earth”,

But hey, let me stare a bit longer.

I noticed the innkeeper was looking at him too,

While trying to get his attention,

A flush of jealousy rush down my spine and I sighed,

The mystery man is not mine yet,

So I won’t have to commit murder,

The plumpy innkeeper looks like a carcass to me,

So I may want to pull a trigger right in her brain,

But those crazy cops will come after me like bees after a honeycomb,

I don’t want to be put behind bars.

I’m too hot for that, girl!

When he turned to my direction, my heart somersaulted,

I don’t know if he was looking at me or the clown making a fuss beside me,

I captured the contours of his face,

I love what I saw.

I will make the approach,

Just like a flash, I stood up.

Yes, I started moving towards his seat to let him know how I feel,

But I stopped midway,

He was gulping down a glass of wine and I sighted the glittering diamond on his finger,

“A wedding ring”.

It was abrupt. I quickly turned back,

It was late because he already knew I was coming to him and he called after me,

“Miss! Miss!!

All eyes were on me as I took my purse and scurried out of the inn,

I had created a scene,

because my mystery man is Mr. Wrong.
