Eye, The Deceiver Poem by Katrina Harms

Eye, the deceiver
your tempting game of
Tossing light upon shadow,
staining love with empty vanity
Shameful glances through your
windows, upon forgotten desires
(those ill-begotten desires)
whose wretched seed choke out all virtue,
make me think my own heart
was born to live amongst the thorns
But yet- haplessly wrapped in a sheep's disguise
I must cherish secret longings
Cherish? No, I must despise
this wondrous demon set before my eyes
