Love Letter
Nothing so sweet to read
as love letter in ink
it’s official document of deceit
Though packed with lies
clothed in oversize suits
heaped with looted words,
words that may mean nothing
praises that can sit on a good meal
you surely search for a mirror,
lock up yourself in bathroom
to affirm goodness in contents
The smuggled words
tantalize you with truth
that may be as rare
as water in the Sahara
