Can two cheaters ever be truly happy?


Can two cheaters ever be truly happy?

A theme portrayed endlessly in soaps, drama's, film, but more realistically, life.

Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.
Salute.




We always meet
Under the moonlights priceless
Silvery rays

We dance like entwined
Consummated eternal lovers
Forever engaged

Married insidiously
By Father Darkness

Through our wicked
Salacious old ways

The thoughts of the world
And all outward consequences

Simply burn on our
Old relationships funeral pyre
And just float away

Carried aloft by the
Cold now dystopian
Midnight's air

This crazy relationship

Which once started as a
Facebook and Twitter
Conversation

Now such a thrilling
Exhilarating irreducible dare

Is now my every
Breathing prayer

This may last or may break

It may end in a heartbeat 
As we share a slice 
Of the Devil's

Delicious seductive cake

But you were always
Worth the risk and long waits

Your three words now just bind me
And sing for me

Whenever my green eyes close

Three words within eight letters
I just plead to hear

I love you

It just keeps me starstruck
Like a Hollywood big actor

Lost on your big screen
Projector

Regardless of our sin and
Our unspoken marriage

As we ceremoniously
Slide through dark shadows

Like unseen lepers

I know we'll win
And buy that dream
Together

For
We're just one
Of the worlds many
Unknown sinners

Swimming valiantly
In one of life's
Many deep rivers

Holding tightly
To each other as we
Sometimes struggle
To breathe

Trying to be
Together forever

Whatever this judgemental
World
Believes or conceives

Married together
Insidiously

Through our wicked ways
As we weave 

Gaslighting
Family and friends 
And lovers

Through shared
Machiavellian plans

To always deceive
