Ring & A Smile

T
hrough the looking glass I saw
I saw an old deceiver
Shades of Lucifer
Hold up a ring 
And place it on a much younger finger
Then sometime later
Saw Casanova and a lady
Out having dinner

He's dreaming
Of a pending encounter
This would-be lover
Wrapped up in the pretty flower

She's dreaming
Of future power 
Smiling and lusting only the golden thing on a finger
This black creature
Wrapped up in a pretty flower

He turns
She speeds through the meal
Still smiling
Knowing
And
Unwitting
Between them
A ring

He's smiling
She's smiling
Both dancing
I know this hungry tramp from other skies
This she-daimon with the unseen milk-white eyes

A ring and a smile
Beneath the facade
Unbridled greed and malefic guile
