Facade
brass wears a thin veneer
warped reflections fractured mirror
façade is a snapshot, a picture that lies
candied veneer for childlike eyes
tricked are the feuding fussing folk
conned by canned silver-tongued smoke
she spoke of two with metaphor
consequence and heretofore
laced by pouring a bawdy brew
sweetened with a blinding cue
mesmerized
she hypnotized
dancing emerald eyes
trapped me in her wily guise
we drank a tepid tea for two
concocted by a crafty shrew
sweaty salty we both withdrew
bidding a sweet adieu
swirling clouds blind to blur
tantrums twist failing cure
plans are the unopened wish
goals reek of rotting fish
