Dark Web of Lies

The dark web of lies

You weave into our lives

Leaves me with chills and means to protest

However your remaining qualities

Kindle enough fire

Foment such desire

As to counter such acts

Keeps me chained to you

Enthralled by you

I can stare into your eyes

And never tell truth from lies

So many lies dancing

In those beautiful grey eyes

Your smile large and everlasting

Lips freely beckoning

All my armour multi-layered and cumbersome

You pierce with a flutter of eyelash

Enough to make the system crash

You so adept at unrevealing

All your secrets truths and fears

Anything except your glorious body

Which you readily aim

In my direction

Your eyes so dismayingly bright

Your tongue so pretty as you

Spin half truths from your

Dark web of lies

All That Stands Between Us

 Struggle all through them avenues

Snakelike and hostile though they be

These tenuous defences I engender

All that stands between us

Subtle twists to navigate

The heat of your emotions

Burning the way

Your eyes shining so bright

Your mind full of night

Lending you strength to persevere

You never should have ventured here

Your hands bent and hard

Bent and twisted into claws

Sweat upon your body glistens

Drips all down leaves trails

Along the dusty ground

Like breadcrumbs

As you grope towards your goal

Not knowing when cometh the fall

Moving forward relentless

Until we meet

Love and hate our weapons drawn

All that stands between us
