BEAUTIFUL LIES
Beautiful Lies
Gazing on your beloved face sublime,
Love’s mist reflection blazes in your eyes--
Because I know I have so little time,
I whisper kisses with the same old lies.
Each time I vow that I will never leave.
Tho caught again bereft that I must go.
The simple truth too cruel to believe
And hiding truth retains our lovers’ glow.
Reality is killer to love’s plans,
No matter how both lovers promised true.
No man's vision has passion more consumed
Than my yearning eyes nourished sight of you.
You slept---and I slipped silent through the door--
Donned uniform and headed back to war.

No man's vision has passion more consumed
Than my yearning eyes nourished sights of you.
She sleeps---and I sneak silent through the door--
Now dare to seek the playoff football score.
