Two sides to a coin we all know
double life not allowed to see,
certain paths no faint heart should go
plans and schemes the search to be free.
Hidden away from prying eyes
sinister life behind closed doors,
doomed husband swallows all the lies
bored wife paints red upon her claws.
Dark eyes convey, no questions ask
a line is drawn so do not cross,
already planned the deadly task
at last the wreckless dice are tossed.
Checking the ticks crossing the noughts
unable to detect the flaw,
forever thinking deadly thoughts
still leaving less and taking more.
Callous heart no attempt to hide
behind four walls her smile grows tight,
rich husbands' heart is on the slide
a life goes missing in the night.
Music plays on the lights are bright
so easy with no love to hide,
hot mug of cocoa sipped at night
slides through weak veins like cyanide.
I know her secret so I stare
her eyes avoid my searching gaze,
flame baubles dancing in the glare
her graceful neck they gently graze.
He travels with her all the time
encapsulated and alone,
a life taken, frozen in time
concealed within each amber stone.

What secrets dwell
I love this story, almost reminds me of and Egles song, lying eyes. You certainly have a fertile imagination which comes out in each write I read and yet I think you have more to offer if you dare. Great stuff, great story which I got lost in and thats what makes a great writer. Well done.
