Cheat Sheet

 

 

strangely enamored

with your wicked smile,

your eyes pinch my cheeks

reality is a pupil

sitting within a classroom of lashes

fluttering in synthetic solicitation

while all the time a hand raised towards mine

faking as if to have an answer,

 

truant students of love

skip out on its true meaning

sell chagrin with those shallow grins

and suddenly, i wake up once again

having slept through to the bell,

learning nothing.

The allure of love is not always reciprocal despite the inference !

Cerebrally penned Jacob with depth and purpose !
