Lies and Ties

by Johann - Aries

The words that tumbled from you mouth
were lipstick coated;
A glossed over kiss 
that wore off;
bittern disguised as wine;
with a smile ready to spit
and speak candy.

Your lying sweet heart
lured me with gossamer guile
to a field of glass 
and barbed wire.
A picnic you said
and picked off the best 
of my dowry;
bound me inextricably
in your Machiavellian movie;
laden with the fruit of your loins;
That lovely be
by a thread of her hair
I will always remain
reluctantly bound to thee.
