Lies in ....Guise


 

 
The haughty face of pride
veiled with dithering trust
when a slender pious hymen
betrayed the carnal lust

False dreams of toil
regaled leisurely in sloth
and gluttonous greed indeed
devoured the last of troth

With a damp shroud on virtues
and naïve wisdom of youth
I never felt more lonely
and so far away from truth
