Stately

The Classics warn us
about charming men
in elegant garments.

The handsome ones
known to deceive with
just a flash of their smile.

The deliciously rebellious,
charismatically wealthy ones,
the infamously brilliant ones. 

The ones with dirty,
twisted, lovely minds,
whose kiss tastes like a revolution.

The ones who cause your heart
to catch fire or something worse— 
maybe a feeling....

The devil is and will always be a gentleman.
