TRUTH IS A MINX

Truth is a minx,
a cunning creature who hides her secrets,
always a sentinel over her offspring,
stalking minds as prey
to let her fangs bite with intensity,
until their wounds create brilliant lights.

Her siren stealth purrs in power
when hunting those who she would
capture and possess.

Always so sleek and skillful
at not revealing her lair,
making sure she leaves so many trails
so those she doesn’t find appealing
wander away and forever are lost.

She takes lovers by the score,
leaving the scars of honesty
from their intimacy.

Ageless and tireless
nothing can satisfy her appetite
like victims she can totally devour,
they don’t recover from the attack
ever after seeing the world
through her eyes.

For she shields the earth and mortals
from the jackals of deception,
making sure sooner or later
their tracks are exposed.

One night in her arms
will change anyone for life
nobody who is taken to her cave
ever returns home.
