Folie a Deux

Gradin foliums.... These Oratorians of self deceit Dicentras bleeding hearts....Benighted Trying hard to portray, something else And then to justify, this begriming.... Through hollowed and piercing words Projected towards others These prima facia showings Of pretentious light.... Often unveiled, amid their antipodal works Derived from a desire....Beguiled That fills this emptiness The amiss, of their own darkened worlds.... Standing behind the provincial podium Gathering in others, as they themselves...."Unknown" While selling their blood drenched tickets To apollyons, never ending curse ...........Folie A Deux........... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Convention!

You hit the nail on the head with this write, John. There are a lot of words being thrown around here under the guise of writing poetry but meant to hurt others. They seem to want attention so badly... Hope you're doing fine. Thanks for the comments. Take care. Love, Audrey
