Adulteration

The woman you seek

Shall be yours

In this game

You insist on playing

 

She will lay by

Your side

With a bitterness

In her mouth

You cannot tame

 

Hatred will grow

By the sound

Of your name

For you will betray her

And cause her shame

 

Your eyes look

Upon her exterior alone

And your pride

Grants you confidence

Beyond your control

 

Note there will be

No peace for you

As your cravings will

Swathe you like a tomb

 

And all you do now

Shall be given back to you

By the hand of your lady

Fair and true

 

Her bitterness awaits you

For you possess a selfish love

Obscured in soft words

Tarnished by your touch

 

You will win her

Your sign of accomplishment

Totally ignoring her love

You now seek to extinguish.

Sea breeze clears my mind as the waves washes the tension away. Belize my native land that breathes creativity and uniqueness with every ray of sunshine. Written words my way of standing up and speaking out.
