Question: Can white lies beguile!?
Lover’s taste

White lies… always white
until mirror does refute
but love ventured, truly spoken
need not washes applied
For lover’s taste lingers,
and lies can’t hide its spell
but sounds sweetly lipped
need heeding… less beguiled
So choose wisely: lie or bed
for souls remember… remember well
as lies take more lies to lie…
lover’s taste lingers, but not so loveWww@QuestionHome@Com

All lies beguile, not just white or lover's ones!. I like but the line "need not washes applied" changes the mood or feel to then and the word 'beguiled' should it not be 'beguiling'!. More truth lay within than you know but it lay in my mind!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

L'eider down beckons for me to lie
And lie I will and linger
No longer than a lie should be
Alas loves taste
Is toothpaste
My smile will be loved
In truth and trust
No lies, nor love, nor lust
(psst Lies, all lies I tell you)
Ahhh bed, I made it!
Bedder late than never

leaves of passion
will never turn

this simple wonder
sees not through eyes
blinded by bale-ful ideologies
