A Deceptive Heart Poem by Sunny Best Anusi

Like a glittering Christmas tree

With sparkling galaxies in motion

Lighting up the whole place

His description of you apt

Your head swelling in pride

That he was truly real



Cherishing your beauty and gait

Touching you like decoration of a sort

Not a moment rest for you

Needing you all the time

Never letting you go

Like it would never end one day



Now he is treating you like a leper

Not wanting to see your face

As if your beauty is on recess

Your sight irritating him like earthworm

The once beauty of the universe

Where has he deposited his heart



Take heart and face it with courage

Nothing lasts forever

Man is a deceptive creature

Making you believe he loves you

Pestering and preaching

Yet all is empty and false
