Mascara Tears
Silenced poised, burgundy lips
brand lasting impression
on his wary prudent heart,
sultry red satin dress
sleek silver slingback shoes,
almond alluring eyes
mascara stained briny tears
blacken rose flushed cheeks
marking tracks down her face,
crystal champagne flutes
chime elaborate toast
interrupting warm embrace
cigarette smoke clouds
linger, in stagnant haze
obstructing festive lights,
neglected ash descends,
discarding swiftly he turns
choosing his sacred vows ~
over adultery and lies.
