Temptations of The Fall
May 16, 2020
He shows off ego regent, courant crest and comb
Drowned in, and owned by, amiable entitlement
Fêtes, lauds, the personal pronoun, bids with singular account
To glide with sympathies that hide a sweet lie’s sale
He rolls amidst wit's thoroughfares, his solipsisitic dene
Wandering solecisms feed his self-conception,
On a sublimated cakewalk stalking calculated words
Under a dark heart's theme park swells the lot he’s wished for
Much shuffling wears his brogues out, all to prove himself
By natural title, estimate, a special camoflage
A bare pretender, impudent enthused dissembler;
Whose smooth croon becks and smiles
Fastens upon a watering place to sink those nice unkind..
..incisors in; beguiles you of your love thy neighbour rule
Plays mandolin upon a tongue to gorgeous madrigals
Insinuating numbers power his pleasant verbs’ advance
Unfolds to win, forgive you, all innocuous mischance
Concuring all the while, turns-tables, heaps a sigh
Slight fidget words his petards hoist your ingénue backside
Rewards declared in promises, fair versions of suppose
Unfurl his game of pitch and toss, of heads or tails you lose
Checkmate the strait, whatever counter call appeal
Pronounced upon your lips, his trounce amounts to double dole;
The lemon in the fruit-dish, bitter pleasure to the eyes,
Discountenance compounds all misadventure’s disarrays
Rescue you composure, come before the infernal,
No suit can restitute the coup he’s played your candour
And over-above your collateral love has strewed your counsel
A sliding fabling thief in grass brings in imposture’s evil
