The Unmasking

The Unmasking ~
A Poem by Debbie_Philly 

THE UNMASKING
 
Lives laced with indiscretions the dance has begun.
Liars take the lead my muse sings the song.
Deception pierces the psyche wavering on the
edge of insanity.
The muse has been unmasked reveled is his
morbid soul. Contents purged of it’s deceitfulness.
Lost love’s obscure, soul mate obsolete in this
malignant web of duplicity.
Cruel heartless muse , why do you ridicule
your beloved? Fixation on unattainable acceptance
Chasing contaminated dreams that render you
inadequate of ever knowing truth.
Truth in life, love and real undying loyalty.
Incapable of true intimacy , bewitched is your
brain by meddlesome hags.
Your thirst will be unquenchable all your days
and lonely apathetic nights.
My muse has been unmasked, seen for what he
really is. I wish him well on his journey for love.
My heartbroken soul wonders aimlessly through
this realm. Numb, disillusioned concealed in a shell
TRUST may never enter my world again.

Richard Lamoureux February 4, 2014 at 6:35 PM There is a lot of imagery here, so many competing images that I am left bewildered. To me there are many great lines here that I feel you could take each one and start a different poem and delve more deeply into that one idea. Richard Lamoureux February 5, 2014 at 2:15 PM My pleasure Debbie. Debbie Mills-Kelly February 5, 2014 at 1:45 PM WOW Thank you for that suggestion...
