POEM: The Theater of US.

 



How unassuming you act,

moving stealthily, stirring my heart,

your words, your gestures

calculated, intentional.

A cunning ploy to charm,

yet you feign innocence.


How so? If I may ask

do you play each seductive card just right,

disarming a damsel awaiting her own knight,

while yours sits in the home you built?

What role is this that you're playing?

I must admit,I'm intrigued.


Don't take this seriously, my mind warns.

It’s probably one of his games.

Out loud, I proclaim again, "This is not real."

I hold on to that truth.

Your sweetness is laced with hazard,

a fine wine that intoxicates with delusion.

Yet, it’s a fleeting moment, a rhythm I choose to follow.

You play, I dance,how hard can it be?

Mesmerize me.


Let me savor the play,

but deep down, I know that you know

this is an act, a mind game, a tease,

another stage you set, luring with practiced charm.

We will play our parts, pretend,

knowing the obvious end.

But before the curtain falls,

Ready the Lights!

One, two, three action!
