Beautiful Liar
Feb 14, 2024
A Challenge by Randy Baker
*
I yearn to believe you, beautiful liar
when you give your assurance that I will survive
fanning the flames, desire’s ethereal fire
love’s sweet serenade, beckons me to your side
a monster created, held captive in your hands
an enigma castrated — the rarest of kinds
willed solely to fulfill your every command
a bewitched, stringless puppet treading delicate lines
your whispers as soft as crushed pristine velvet
my heart beats in unresponsive trance
caught in a Labyrinth, making me forget
as I recklessly cascade through your happenstance
