Ensconced in your guarded bastion. <br />playing to good to be true. <br />Darling deceiver i've seen more, <br />and that speck of yellow hue in you <br /> <br />your lies comforts your lair. <br />your damsels all smitten too. <br />oh darling deceiver, <br />like glass, i look through you <br /> <br />Have you lost count of all your lasses, <br />on your fingers and toes too? <br />Run out of calls and numbers <br />and philandering fibs too? <br /> <br />you cringe and shiver <br />when love percolates through <br />Does it torch and singe, <br />all the psychedellic prurient in you? <br /> <br />you thwart and brawl about <br />like a petulant child. <br />you think a phalanx of reason <br />could put up a good fight? <br /> <br />Darling deceiver, <br />you can snap, punch and push me down. <br /> you can't fool me now or evermore. <br /> My talons cut, and run <br /> through your blood. <br />and you can hurt me no longer.<br /><br />roshini samuel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/darling-deceiver/
