- An Impostor -

                                      Broken glass,
                                      mosaic
                                      Stomach chills
                                      Grasp the truth
                                      Shallow becomes deep
                                      Emotions stir
                                      with tender assault
                                      Pale poker face

                                      The serpent's greed
                                      lacking purpose
                                      creates anxiety
                                      and
                                      harbors anger for revenge
                                      The tongue is split

                                      I read your eyes
                                      detailed
                                      Time will be the judge
                                      an boiling pot
                                      - core of soul

Duke Beaufort Date: 3/31/2024 6:25:00 PM Anne-Lise, I think you capture the unease we feel when our heart tells us what is being presented is not true. I like giving the benefit of the doubt, but that doesn't always work out. As you say, time is indeed a great judge. Login to Reply

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 3/30/2024 6:33:00 AM Anne-Lise, hi my friend, an imposter would posses all of what you have so perfectly described, all of these traits, an untrue, individual, an imposter who stands before you to scare and confuse you,to lie to you and to create havoc in your life. Tell him to shoo, shoo away. love and blessings, Jennifer. Login to Reply

Joe Dimino Date: 3/23/2024 9:50:00 AM Indeed!~ windows to the soul...to truth. I have a philosophy: if I have to convince myself, bend over backwards finding reasons when making a determination...then, it is probably wrong. Truth is self-evident. Truth needs no affirmation beyond its presence. Excellent write! Login to Reply
