Poetry: Relationships

"Lipstick on a mirror/Water under the bridge"

It's been a long, cold night;
White moon hung like a lamp
Over a sea of inky planet
Full of dreamers and dreams

And I would believe, in naivety,
Letting a need for love
Blot out my mother's intuition

What I require now is this:
Give me a more compelling line-
Bait me with advanced trickery
