PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Visit the department store

rummaging through what interests you.

Inside you're under surveillance

but because of your craftiness

the legerdemain is too subtle to notice.

As you continue your foray

you see my heart on a glass pedestal

embellished with all things true of me.

Oh little fox,

you abandon your prizes

and head for the gold;

then, all too soon make the risk.

A smirk on your face,

a dash towards the exit to freedom

what's most precious is gone, thief!

Thanks to you, it's harder to love again.
