smug

dangerous
is another
alluring
is the last
the come-hither cadence
of a stay-away grin

a mistake waiting to happen
a lesson waiting to be learned
a life ready to be made right
in the throes
of some tragic happenstance

shulamith there are men who speak with invisible daggers clenched between pearl white teeth, flashing fatal smiles. The cuts they leave will never heal.

there are women with needle-sharp fluttering lashes, waiting to tear the flesh of your pillow-soft cheeks till they bleed black oil blood.

there are sweet blue eyed boys who can crush you with the charm and charisma of their words, till naught is left of your frail frame but dry bones and dust.

there are silver-tongued girls who take your hand, spinning scenes of love and promise to turn your head as they lead you to the slaughter.

you are the last of the innocent, terribly misinformed and pure. the sweet scent of your skin, the pull of a smile playing around your lips belie the cruel fate that awaits one so gloriously naïve.

i could warn you, show you that which would stain the brilliance of your virtue and possibly save you. but ignorance is much more appetizing to a hungry soul. in this world, virtue is currency and i am merely a merchant. for what good is innocence but to those that might take it?

what's left unsaid
will haunt us more
than what was told

hope and time
two stars in decline"
