A Woven Deciet

i gasped for breath like a fish out of water i tried to speak but silence is all i could 
mutter my courage was faint like bread trapped between much butter,
my wings could not flutter but the words boiled in me like hot water
it was a dish on a platter,manner i failed to gather, she knew what my heart was
after teasing my burning desire, my eloquent tongue was left to scamper for
cover, in a dark corner i watched her peel mans wrapper, revealing natures 
wonder
all for my hungry eyes to plunder, her craft ate through my senses like a cancer
to my aching heart her lies had the answer, she was indeed a woven deciet

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
