Gambling Casanova

Noxious fumes permeated the room

Causing gelatinous terror to form

Snaking sin consummates the brewing storm

Off treachery and criminal lies

Destroying passion with false alibis

 

Torrential tears cascade down swollen cheeks

Monumental emotions foment destruction

Creating bewildering mind obstruction

Scarlet sight shrouds the stimulated brain

Embodying the need to induce horrific pain

 

A once silver heart now speckled with rust

Lay weeping on the barren terra of love

Asking for wise guidance, to rise above

Laughter and verve have lost their appeal

As the hawker settles his rancid deal

 

Casanova has played his charming game

Leaving no alleviation in sight

Heart heavy without his sultry light

His cards have been masterfully laid

Jokers wild, love the ace of spade
