False Promises


A single motion spurs emotion

Thoughts seem distant

The eyes of fairy; beautiful 

A fantasy of the body

An illusion of the heart

Foul winds whisper sweet nothings

A putrid truth behind the words

Darkness unveiled; enraptured 

An illness of the desire

Only too ready to give everything
