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. By: Deborah Kelly © 2009 Debbie_Philly

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.
