The smile though enticing enough
to put any soul to sway
yet his cautious eyes were prudent
to avoid the reek,
for the wounds from the past
were fresh on his mind,
he couldn’t forget
that smile from the past
somehow engrained on his mind
as a deceit always

True appearances can be deceptive!
You have experimented well. Bold words tell you the same poetry in less words.
Very beautiful writing. You said a lot in a little bit.
Things might not be the way they appear…well written.
