The Ladies of Horror
Picture-Prompt Writing Challenge!

Loving or Lying 
by Asena Lourenco 

Two pearlescent, fluorescent emerald globes,

Entrance suitors from overseas,

Hypnotic, mesmeric sounds escape

Perfectly pink lips as soft melodies,

Gems and jewels adorn her diamond skin,

Glowing equally as bright,

Yet behind the wealth and riches there lays

The darkest creature of the night.

Her longing looks, and illusions of love 

Carefully mask elaborate lies,

For in the place of love and humanity,

A deep hunger is found in her eyes.
