He wondered if
she despised him.
He didn't want
his nice guy varnish
tarnished
by truths told
and lies exposed.
He wondered if
his next prey would
be warned
out of his reach, shown
his naked face
its flaccidity glaring
without tricks, light,
or shadows.

unpredictablebijouabout 16 years agoConcise and very vivid, this piece gives a fine, accurate look into the deeper aspects of a character. Nice work.
LeBrozabout 16 years agoIt matters not if the varnish is tarnished for most see what they want to see, even when knowing they are being misled. Some even expect to be misled; sounds like only half the truth's been revealed. Another poem awaits, perhaps?
Anonymousabout 16 years agoReally well done, Cerise. I love how you chose your line breaks, and the whole thing is remarkable, really. Witty, wry, and precise. Thanks for sharing!
