boy
grinning white teeth.
Only bares the surface
that he wants you to see,
but never uncovers what lurks
underneath.
Iceberg lover--
a mountain floating in the deep
with peaks of grandeur
glistening
above churning seas.
Never will you see,
the base below cloaked
in dark
sending ships to their knees.
Because it is secrets, not lies,
that cause
casualties.
