Stormy Night In The City

Another stormy night in the city    
As she entered fluently      
Into the smoke filled bar    
In atomic blonde proportions      
     
Everyone in the joint knew her      
As the dame that got away      
She looked like an angel      
But there was a devil inside      
     
If you looked closer      
She had heartbreak in her eyes      
A soul crushed divorcee      
With menace on her mind      
     
The way she held her cigarette and puffed      
Had every man within touching distance      
Groan in anticipation      
With lips that promised more than a goodnight kiss    
     
She wanted to forget      
The dirt and grime of the day      
Those curves born of heaven      
Where now formed on the highway to Hell    
     
Still with a mushy heart      
Romance was further from her mind      
No meek woman now      
She loved the power she held In her domain      
     
Tonight she wanted contact      
With a man who never took no for an answer      
She had enough of subservient chumps    
That littered her bed recently    
     
She craved more than a good woman should      
Yet this freedom was liberating      
The long ago innocent virgin      
Now fantasised herself as a whore for the taking      
     
Nursing a whiskey the night rolled on      
She sighed at the sight      
Broken husbands silly boys      
There was no one strong enough for her    
     
Getting up she gave them a show    
As left the bar every curve motioned      
This is what you see guys      
But you ain’t never gonna touch

For the Noir : The Dame That Got Away Competition my meagre attempt anyway, when I put noir into themes it came up with dark
