I am the face of monogamy
Formed from truth and integrity
I reside in single unions
Purity abides in my heart
Honesty flows from my lips
Walking through days of temptation
I only seek the face of my beloved
I am the face of promiscuity
Formed from disappointment and pain
I rest in multiple conquest
Lust fills my heart
My lies seek a listening ear
Walking in nights of deception
I seek the eyes of many
Monogamy is my soul mate
I wish my heart to give
Promiscuity is my Ally
Guarding my emotions from death
I look in the mirror to see monogamy
Only to look again and smile at promiscuity
Dis pair fills my spirit as I realize
They both are a part of me

Wow!!!!
Wow! You said a mouthful there....I love "guarding my emotions from death" wonderfully said. You captured the feelings so well. Thank you, Leslie -
There are two sides to everying and even more sides to everyone. No one is perfect and at some point i'm sure that even the most monogomous of man has at one point been promiscious. Don't be disappointed in this. Embrace it, because to embrace it is to open your eyes and not seek the darker side of love. Great job. Awesome write. Merry Part and Blessed Be.

clever use of 'dis pair'
i can definitely relate to this one. sometimes it's just so damn tempting to say 'the hell with it' but then i'd have to live with myself... and i'm not good at deception...
good write

Very interesting poem, I sense despair of emotions here of not being able to find true love. Emotions run high in this poem! ~Sie
