Duped

Chewed promises, butter veiled short comings
                             Musky frame, gentle embrace quite soon

                                  When captor salaciously swings 
                                 Ego plunged like deflated balloon 

                         Stock ignored for lisping with a sound wing
                                In agora of beings, selector loon

                    Shows how step to moon, mankind reached summit
                            At acme, primal drive tests our limits

Words and looks can easily lull one into a false sense of security. Illusion, accompanied by disappointment lurk just round the corner. These are the thoughts that your poem brings to mind, Samiha. ~ Warm regards // paul
