Sunlit curls hastily spread
across his face
Luscious lips treacherously close
To blood red
Eyes that see through
My endless woes
Hiding in plain sight

Beguiled,
My guilty conscience is led astray
Bereft of all reason,
Inexplicably drawn to beautiful things
That could never be mine
And as you lay my demons to rest,
I come undone
And wonder if your touch would
Shatter the illusion
Once and for all
