Human Folly

When standing alone on a dark stage of the unknown where eyes read the scribbled script of life's lonely pages internal tears endlessly fall creating pools of painful regrets that discolored the soul for the stolen measures of another's loneliness shared when love was a drunk passionate interlude of sensual melodies heard in a fading heartbeat yearning to be loved when the rising and setting of romantic suns offered a glimpse of paradise wishes Where dreams are found in a heart's harmony of hopeful promise from the words of a lonely actor who commanded the podium...until the curtain fell and life became a dark stage of dramatic art when wormwood bile covered the footlights and the armor protecting the soul started to rust in this theatre of the fabricated from the persuasiveness of soft-spoken lies heard when looking into a mirror of masquerading memories kept in the dark rhetoric of words whose pages were read on a stage of unrepentance filled with dancing shadows of moonlight lovers whose faces were lost when life was a malignant mass of mascara worn as an actor's disguise in a pantomime of sullied illusion while standing alone seeking redemption in front of an empty auditorium
