Love Is Actually---Not

Love is Actually - NOT Love is actually hate’s evil sister masquerading as the touch of passion’s tryst harsh flame to make the lover’s psyche blister lying lips to slyly soothe the forming cyst. Sipping slowly from nearly empty snifter savoring the truth on which Love’s lies subsist fatal swordplay of dueling Cinderella’s battling the darkness of lust’s empty cellars. 8/5/2017 submitted to – Love is Actually……- Poetry Contest

Love can certainly blister and burn the soul if not placed in a trustworthy person. Good luck in the contest. Never thought of love as hate's evil sister. Wow.
