Your melody lingers
in the back roads of my memory
enchantment surveyed my heart
a destination you toyed with
before disembarking
on the train of short goodbyes
for you have traveled loveless paths
singing broken hearted melodies
to the ears of many
who unwisely settled into the beguile of you
arrows of folly disguised as love
you loosed upon any that neared
your motives clear as dense fog
chilling the air of the moor
your dance of deception
left a path strewn with mighty men
reduced to weakness
disenchantment and sniveling
love's parlance an unknown to you
who dwells in the darkness
of selfish glee
JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
comprehending every line...then wondering who...
the darkest of hearts to play a game of love
and love so gloriously gived to the deceptor who
is no doubt the bigger fool...

For those "who unwisely settled into the beguile of you" the frustration and pain are all too real and the lesson often learned late, very sad. You've expressed poignantly the inability to love that selfishness and "selfish glee" (even worse) cause. A fine piece of work.
