Is it the lure of the complex

That seduces the most hardened heart?

Patterns and puzzles

Disguise the truth

Smokescreens can captivate

 

Carefree or careless?

Energy indulgently spent

Against better judgement

Gripping onto hope

And letting go

 

Indecision

Doesn’t always involve

Too many choices

But rather

The absence of options

 

Is it the lure of the game

That seduces the least likely player?

Promises and pretense

Deceive the willing

Smokescreens always captivate
