Lies, Poetry

Lies
Lies
Oh, man in the
moon,
why do you make
their hearts swoon,
with those
dangerous
icy-azure
eyes?
Your eyes
do not show
a certain
secret
that you stow,
and I suspect
it is your
sharp-edged,
icy-azure lies.
Oh, man in the
moon,
why are you
leaving so soon,
when they long to
remain
inside your
penetrating
icy-azure eyes?
Have you really
gone away,
or are you
merely gazing
down at new prey,
as you polish,
and make ready,
your deceptive,
icy-azure lies?

Thank you, Brenda. It is about a Sociopath. He only pretends to help people so he can lure them in, and then he eats them for lunch.
BRENDA ARLEDGE from Washington Court House on January 29, 2020:
Awe...to fall in love in the moonlight is so grand but then the man in the moon leaves us. He looks upon new prey forgetting the ones he helped.
Was it a lie?
Nice write.

As always, your comment is so kind, Manatita. ❤️

Nice take on the moon. Embellishments internally and externally, seem to help us, like scriptural myths. Good poetry, my Dear. Continue!

Thank you, Mark. I was inspired to write this due to those who carry around abundant lies, and look down upon others.
♥️

Interesting take on the man in the moon, Tamara. The man in the moon, so often written about, must be holding secrets he's not telling us about. We keep looking up to him with curiosity.

Bill,
I did not, yet. But, you have just inspired me to do so! When I do, I will send it to you.

Lovely work Tamara - almost like a moral to the tale story. Nice play with words.
