NO WOMANS HEART TOLERATES LIES

 

She surfaced at dawn

A new creature

Influenced by the moon

To a state of self-reflection

Wherein all appears and is related

To the sensuous world

What is felt

What is held

Who is born or about to be

Or is being dreamed up

In this lovely woman’s mind

            While she speaks

            Nuanced inquiries direct to the heart

            A subsiding allegiance to the past

            Headlong leap into her future

            Each word a dissection

            Discerning meaning

            By observing what is omitted

            And what is over-emphasized awkwardly

What genius is the woman

Who can find out all about you

But as little of her

As she wants it to be.

So as to be the proper dream

When boy with all the top marks

On the “totally desirable” chart

Walks up to her eyes

And asserts empathy

With effective sincerity

As no woman’s heart tolerates lies

            She is yours, you discover

            Long before the analysis
