Facade

Free verse

Your face allures kings and peasants alike.
Coffins stop at your doorstep,
bidding a final goodbye to the love they never had.
What witchcraft lies behind your angelic smile?

Laughing is what you cal it,
Though I am unsure if it really is.
Inside that rib cage engulfing your heart,
Is that a wolf howling from deep inside?

Sultress, you truly are.
Every motion, every maneuver 
Sways to a rhythm only you know about.
What devilish beat are you up to now?

Riddles, puzzles, mazes: oh how you love 'em!
For they conceal your enigma
That whosoever can uncover, be yours forever.
But wait, have you solved the devils yourself yet?
