Putrid Perfidity

If kiss should meet Kismet
Let not the bet be shallow
Nor all the treasure of this time
Become a promise hollow

For kisses can take 'way one's breath
In ecstasy or sentence
Choose wisely who you turn to face
Lest death become tomorrow

If time and temperment embrace
The face of what's surreal
It's up to those equipped to face
The task…  before the sorrow
