The yellow deceiver

As I see the bright yellow lemon, I notice its identical stem ends and its slight shine. But at the same time, I notice its imperfections, its brown scratches, and marks, its wrinkles, and its rough random bumps. The tiny deep spots run about the lemon, by that I can tell that it's rough and its texture is almost grainy.

When I touch the lemon with my bare hands, I sense the freshness thanks to the coldness.  And what I predicted was true, the lemon was rough and grainy. The bright yellow lemon did have a hard and tough body. But wait, this lemon isn't all bright and happy, wait till its colours unfold and you see how it deceives. 

As I bring it close to my nose, I can smell whiff the juiciness, the tanginess, and the citrus smell. It's like I can taste it, but I am just smelling. This lemon seems so friendly, trying to lure people in with its welcoming fresh smells, and its fresh body.

Why does this simple fruit deceive so many? It looks so bright and inviting, as it deliberately displays its yellow colour. But as you look closer you really see. The only thing that's actually puzzling, is what lurks inside.

How does a single lemon seem so innocent? In reality, it tastes much further than what we see. The lemon makes my face wrinkle and my taste buds curdle. The sourness overpowers. It's a true deceiver, a yellow deceiver.

Yet I still do not hate these little yellow deceivers. I dread plain lemon, I hate it alone. But when lemons play with others, it truly shines. I can only imagine the world without lemons and other 'yummy' deceivers. Lemons really do prove, that what's displayed, isn't always what's underneath. Lemons, the bright yellow deceivers.

Perfection - Poem

I try to find words for your ethereal beauty, but I stumble in your presence, Your intoxicating energy, My cheeks ablaze, Please jealousy, consume me, Her light is too bright, Yet it shines with me, Your honey words of poetry, Those of which you sing, I am spellbound and falling under your incantation, The moon could be our gem, The sun could be our ring, The worlds but an orb in your earthly eyes.

From the Men of Troy - poem

To touch the scars of your soul through your eyes and deepen them, To wield the my trojan tongue in hopes of dying for her, Her who sent those ships to sink, Her who held hope in her arms and harnessed its impact against us, Her who ran into the sand and bathed in their flames, She loved it so much that she lived in its ashes You stopped being a monster because I loved you, I found what I loved and let it kill me, She is the closest thing to magic, To god, To human, Time told me it wasn't love, But if this wasn't it, what could it be? I was blinded by hopes of church bells and chariot rides, Those that hide your glow because it's mine I wished to died for treasure, No remorse, but just loss of something better, Rest Helen, Everything was more beautiful when we were doomed,

Should we fall? - poem

Distraught, disfigured, shattered, How do I leave my demons? How do I find a cure? Within these walls, hope has brewed, Translucent and pure, like a fleeting dream, Let us depart, venture into the unknown. Before departure, This maiden, she spared a glance behind, Through her watery waterline, The deception, She realised nobody was waiting, And so she plunges forward, into the depths of madness, Let us follow, embrace her uncharted path, Even if we must fall, Lets join her Past foggy glasses, We learn the essence of joy, To confront our fears or be crippled by our despairs, The choice is ours to make, For destiny is completely malleable if you hit hard enough
