False Promises
by Paul Berube → (All Poetry by Paul Berube)

The lady enthralls with sweet perfumed
fragrance and insatiable zest for life.
She breathes gentle words that
melts the souls of commoners.

This sirens song has captured many
bleeding hearts oblivious to her
hypnotic trance. A beckoning call
enticing all victims to certain peril...

A temptress covered with talcum,
to hide disgust, waits for approval
to inflict contageousness on the
weak and vulnerable of society.

Opulence, not pleasure is her forte.
Favors are many and guarantees few.
Nocturnally she is destined to
quench the thirst of a pestilence.

The rewards are shared with corruption.
Daylight is the gestation period.
A new vitality activates the disease
to renew its plague on mankind.

Many queens of the world could be described this way. So few were in touch with their people, they were like this. Great descriptions throughout. Enjoyed this one~ Sheila
