Andrew Crisci Poet Rhyme

My Smiles Were Lies

I learned how to cheat,
because you always believed me
when we burned in the heat...
as I was lost in your beauty!


My smiles were lies,
gifts to cover them with cleverness,
but what is the price
a cheating man pays for his craftiness?
Nights without a woman's tenderness,
days without hearing her voice of gladness!
  

I took everything like a remorsless thief bound for cheats,
while another heart shared the same love you thought
was the only possession your faithful heart ever sought...
you miss all the smiles of my lies as your loneliness deepens.  


My smiles were lies of an untrue lover showing
beautiful images of deception
but you fell for them without realizing
that in them there was no affection;
and today, remembering those those moments of exstacy,
nobody can persuade you from believing in my dishonesty!

Leo Larry Amadore May 22, 2011 at 11:04 AM A forthright admission of guilt, nicely put...the second line of the second stanza may need a little tweaking (us them?)....and do you mean "prize" or "price"? But, overall, pleasing to the ear.
