Desire Comes Easy

The truth was concealed with many branches Hidden by darkness, in her lies Smiles and eyes with penetrating glances, gathers you in Your mind she occupies Desire comes easy, beauty her trap Need and want tools of her trade Illusion a gift, she'll unwrap Displayed to a fool, another man repaid Lost in it all, how quickly they played Caught in her mire, by their own heart Another body , in a long parade Lessons learned from her performance art Contest Camouflage Me a Poem 8/9/16

Sorta like, "the devil with a blue dress on" Frederic, do we ever learn? or change? I can relate to this poem.

Very descriptive! Everything beautiful is dangerous and captures our spirtit. Lessons learned from her performance art.
