John Rhinem Poet I do not know?

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...........

Audrey Haick October 4, 2010 at 8:59 AM You hit the nail on the head with this write, John.

Take care. Love, Audrey
