Prepared for Conquest

Some days, we need every weapon in the arsenal...

 


I trace my lips carefully


Layer warm foundation


darken my eyes like Cleopatra.


There, looking stronger now,


not seductive, just assured.


Beauty is power


and don't I feel sassy


with those sparkling eyes?


 Facing the doctor


contrary teens


quarrelsome co-workers


or a weary, worried hubby


 


I can work the magic


finish the list


steal the trophy


with the help of a little


judicious color


and a witty attitude.
