My Perception

You found all my old scars Soothing them unconditional As I reached for the stars Made me think I was invincible You never stayed just in and out When it was appropriate for you Funny until you I had no doubt Moments I gave to others few Here, then with no word leave Intoxicating me so gently Forever saying how you believe Contradictions said aplenty You played the game and I knew Deep down you held deception Tales of what you went through While blinding my perception Honorable Mention STRAND SELECT 5 any form,any theme Poetry Contest Sponsor:Brian Strand 1/4/2020

Congrats on your HM.. Perceptions may sometime deceive.. Coz our minds and the senses are tricky customers..

WoW!! I adore your quill perception, Bre C! This poem rocks big-time ... Here, then with no word leave. Intoxicating me so gently. Forever saying how you believe. Contradictions said aplenty. This scintillating poem moves with powerful muse assertions. GrEaT write ... very Chiri star bright! Love and more love always.

I think we all have experienced this at least once unfortunately! But the key is looking beyond the perception to see the deception!;) thank you dear heart!;)

When contemplating... and having those reflective moments... Perception is key in all my experiences.... Do you focus on the deception or the perception??? I really liked this a lot...

Sometimes even when we know deep down that a person is being deceptive, we choose not to believe it. You touch readers hearts when you describe the pain this type of relationship can cause. Well done, Brenda! Hugs, Carolyn

Hello There

My perception is that you are wise. You knew all along, though we all want to believe that deceptive impression...When deceit is involved, vision gets blurred. Well said, Brenda, and Happy New Year!!

some people only perceive things the way they see and perceive things.. self-minded perhaps.. there are plenty of windows to look through, if they just open their eyes. Nice Write, Brenda. Wishing you a Happy & Healthy New Year! Charlie
