Deceptive Allure

You weren’t just a beautiful face,

I always thought there was more to you.

The good, bad or ugly…?

I chose to believe the last two couldn’t be true.

 

In those innocent and gently protruding eyes,

Who could sense the veiled emptiness and sly!

 

In that buoyancy of glee and mirth,

Who could sense the phony con and smirk!

 

In those audacious compliments and extols,

Who could sense the effortless glib on your lips!

 

In that lingering poised and tender touch,

Who could sense that crude salacious intent!

 

In those smooth loquacious confabulations,

Who could sense the art of that deceptive act!

 

In that unsolicited assurances and promises,

Who could sense the careless flippancy!

 

You aren’t still just a beautiful face,

I am certain there is more to you.

Is it good, bad or ugly…?

I don’t need to choose when I know which is true.
