Satin

Satin

Caressing my mind
Conveying your lies
Your velvet tongue
Devouring the prize

Murmurs in silk
Smooth and sensuous
A charade acted out
The ending treacherous

Satin words
With claws of rust
Etched into my heart
It was a breach of trust

With silver charm
And a propensity for deceit
Another conquest was yours
Corpse at your feet

Overwhelmed by your audacity
Naïveté notwithstanding
Your intentions toward me
Were not a misunderstanding

Distinctly seeing
The tenacity of your intent
I am no fool of yours
And make clear my discontent

Slink off into the darkness
Trophy in hand
The ending of the story
Was just as you planned

    The soft voice of the serpent… I only know the book title, but that’s what I feel from those satin words.

    Great metaphor! It’s a terrible thing to go through, though.

    I especially like the contrast in this….”Satin words
    With claws of rust”
    A terrible thing when we are lied to, with intention of deceit, but also terrible for them, when we can see through it.
