Reserata Carcerem Xxii

betrayal ain't gift - pored present:
sassy seal soiled strength, leering lent
callous content, cussed confetti,
felon fosters, la-de-da wills

betrayal is not a rough robe:
moistened misery solely sewn
throbbing thread, porous passion plagued
smothered style, feeble fabric's flesh

betrayal is all but sworn skill:
saucy syllables shredding fills
smithereens of spelled silhouettes
tracing dark dribbles on int'llect

think not yourself wise when you cheat,
you're a shadow of what you think!
        '20:06:21:09:35

Note: of bounty betrayal.
