Nette Onclaud Poet Dramatic Verse

Notes About The Poem

Hidden Lies

How your lips adored me like sweet Chablis
where paths  of seasons were widely gained;
that all  I feared  dissolved into your arms
taking chances on  vows of forever:

But your hidden lies drenched me in the rain,
playing with  my vulnerability
through splintered  words of  a snake’s deceit,
of  liaisons drilling nights upon my  barbed  cross.

Far the separate roads we shall travel then
wilting on grapevines  where ardor once ruled,
and now, your  dead leaves of betrayal  crash…
while I prevail , stand tall from an intent  so    unreal.
