Best
The man who loves her and then coins
new words to suit her, and her loins
could overlook the female breast
which may, to some be second best
reserve his eyes for soft-skinned groins.

Best - Iality
It's treponema pallidum
that transfers when the moments come,
infects a critter in no time
neisseria though don't have a rhyme.
When folks betray their human kind
they do approach then from behind,
transferring evil inter species
still worried though about plain faeces.

Betrayal
At last, I think I understand,
your silence is not indifference
nor could it be a covert message
of a dislike, born out of disappointment.
No, nothing as mundane as that.
You have now relegated me
to that forsaken place outside
of all our worlds, onto a scrapheap.
What little history we had, you did condense
and squeeze it with the energy of anger
though not quite indignation, too noble, that.
You have abandoned me for reasons of your own..
They say that leaving is akin perhaps to dying,
for whom I wonder, surely not for both.
But when I left you it was not a little death,
no, my departure cut much deeper, 'twas betrayal.

Betrayal Is So Common (Haiku)
So is it honour?
An echo coming back now,
for me to answer.
He did not have it.
The courage to deceive though,
was pure genetics.
I stand alone then,
a dummy under palmtrees
Let's go exploitin'...........
