Enticing with your chivalrous charm,
That spontaneous glint in your eyes.
Intriguing in your intensifying ways.
Alluring poetry trips off your tongue
Garnished with a tantalizing, sensual kiss.
Bestowed upon me to steal the air from my lung
Leaving me cloudy in a mystic haze
But you, the actor with legitimate lies,
Steal it all away with no thought of harm.
Actor is simply a term that we use
To justify half-truths and little white lies
To mask any trace of accidental sincerity
To cover up for all that the actor wants to hide.
You acted as though I meant something once,
But now I can see that you’ve lied.
All I see now is a parody.
All I can see is your guise.
And I wish that I’d no longer muse.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Moral (or, The Poem In A Nutshell) in the form of a limerick:
I once fell in love with an actor
His charm was the deciding factor
I cannot forget
The way that he let
Himself crush my heart like a tractor.

A tractor! I have driven them enough to know what a violent simile this is.
Alas! There are many men (they don't deserve the title) who act this way. He deserves a thrashing, and I'd give them all one if I could.
Scoundrels.
But we're not all that way! A knight will happen along one day. Just keep your hope - and your guard - up.
