Disillusion

Blood -
Bubbling dark
on lips we
perceived to be
luscious.

Lies -
Snaking in
A band of thieves
Hiding behind
White clouds.

Shame –
As visible as
Monstrous smoke
Devirgining
The air.

Mercy –
Futile cries
Sordid lies
Phantasms of light
Dancing drunk on
Streets they
Claim as
Their own…
