Betrayal

Surrounded by numerous faces
An intangible  feeling lingers
Lost in this treacherous world
Of a nightmare such as this

You were my strength,
My shield in the tumultous rain
In your presence I had peace
Safe in your warm embrace

In an instant it vanished
A figment of my imagination
You became a vile creature
My handsome prince disappeared 

The same familiar hands
Which gave me comfort
Now stung like a wasping bee
Scotching my very soul

A willowy shadow of sadness
Eyes Erupted like a big dam 
Big droplets hit the counter-top
Beside the shattered glass

The pain pierced my soul
Plunging me into a bottomless pit
Drowning in the deep despair
Of your great betrayal

Beauty

Her beauty is unrivalled by another
A vision of finished perfection
She stands out in a crowd
Heads and shoulders above all others
The softness of her flawless skin
Brings strong men to their knees
They are weakened by her sensuality
Dumbfounded and rendered speechless
She draws them into her web
Long lashes tease and taunt them
Look how easy they fall under her spell
Like a sheep led to the slaughter
Still blindly they follow her
Trapped by her alluring beauty
