Pseudo Hate

Don't oppress yourself to 
impress all men,
why depress yourself, 
dying in life's den.
Only cocks should crow, 
dear mother-hen;
express with your eggs, 
shun ink-less pen.

Luminous are thy lips, 
colour-laden,
they glow but within lies 
the burden;
sunlight lavishes your lawn, 
miss Garden
why can't your dusky 
wrinkles be hidden?

Tell the noon that twilight 
awaits,
and fragrance may flare in 
the air of fate;
tame your bloom when 
comes a bait,
love looms when desire 
snugs pseudo-hate.
