Two-Faced.
Festooned round
skilfully sentenced evasion
never deeper
than experienced phrasing,
lies counterfeit.
Cunning the methods used for
unmeant affection.
Playing at love
is a divisive two-faced game
based on
using arrant deception.
Fake vows never stand time's
scrutiny, real
care knows trust can break
when misled.
Better to give thought first
before begins stress
of naught but false words.

Love the meme! Too bad most relationships are sealed and built almost only on words that aren't always truthful. Thanks for sharing.
Yes I agree that the image was perfect to add to my take on deceit - glad you thought so too dear bard - -- your considered comment is truly appreciated.
I first read this, maybe a couple of micro-seconds after it was posted .. and linger long over it I did .. since it is more than worthy of such in-depth consideration, appreciation and approval .. Now then folks, take heed, each and every one of ya ........ N x
It warms my heart the way you are always kinder than kind with your support mon ami - - thank you for this lovely comment.........................x

Such true words Fay, true love never has untruths in it.
