Intelligent face
Laughter lines fan out
framing china blue eyes.
Beneath them is a smile that disarms
A smile that says you can trust me
a smile that welcomes you
tells you that you are safe.
But beware, beneath the perfectly formed cranium
lie devils, devils that seethe with anger
devils that manipulate.
And when trust is at its highest
the china blue eyes narrow and the welcoming smile disintigrates
leaving a scowling ill tempered countance
allied to a barbed whiplash tounge of a tounge.
