- 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

Jennifer Proxenos March 30, 2024 at 6:33 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.

Regina Mcintosh March 24, 2024 at 10:01 AM Wow. Wondering where this one came from? Unusual for you, my sweet friend. expressions of angst with silent reflections on the most distant emotions, flowing with emotions. God bless you sweetheart, love, Gina

Ink Empress March 24, 2024 at 3:57 AM Whoa this is powerful dear anne lise, the way your words flow in such a soulful manner truly left me speechless, and it bit so strong. Did you write this while looking at the picture? Your words fit the picture that youv used here too so very well! I love it! The word choices and the depth of emotion’s delivered. Pleasure reading you always. Sending you light always Anne-Lise Andresen March 24, 2024 at 6:39 AM - No, the poem was written first and the photo came later - Thank you very much for your comment, Ink :) - hugs

Andrea Dietrich March 23, 2024 at 10:36 AM So profound, Anne-Lise. Love the picture you put with the poem as well. Anne-Lise Andresen March 24, 2024 at 6:40 AM - Many thanks for your comment, Andrea :) - hugs

Joseph P. DiMino March 23, 2024 at 9:50 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!

Silent One March 23, 2024 at 8:41 AM I can feel the angst in your poem and the feelings of betrayal... excellent poetry..

Joseph May March 23, 2024 at 7:45 AM Th serpent has one final battle, in which he will be defeated, Very nicekly expressed Anne
