Two Faced

Two Faced
By David Paul Hartman

so i seen her mysterious beauty and alluring walk,
my thoughts began racing and it was hard to talk,
my heart beat loudly and sweat ran down my face,
my eyes were focused on this wondrous space,
\but then to the side, something strange caught my eye,
it was ugly, odoriferous, like a festering sty,
and out of the smoke came this creature of evil,
with the face of a toad and postured like a weasel,
its claws were dripping green and curled,
i couldn't fight my reflexes, i bent and hurled,
its skin was a putrescent mass,
and up from those sores seeped fetid gas,
was this the beauty that once held my gaze?
that memory was wandering through my minds confused maze,
\what once was lustrous,fair skinned with overflowing locks,
revealed to me the meaning of a two faced faux fox.
