Deceit

I am hiding my true self from you,

From everyone, really.

Flowing around my ankles

Like a pouring ebony sky.

The silken threads of sweetly spoken lies

Dance across the tongue;

A brief taste of chocolate.

The ecstasy soon passes—

I must continue in my sin.

Without the tender touch

If the broken laws speech

I shall whither and become a Nothing.

I’m hidden within each human being;

Buried deep within their souls.

            I am deceit;

                        I am your inner nature.

                                                            Iago
