~ The Unmasking ~

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.

[TL Boehm]

this is deep deep poetry. "Your thirst will be unquenchable all your days
and lonely apathetic nights." Such a bleak message conveyed by such lush words.
The picture was a wonderful offset to the piece.
Well penned

[Debbie_Philly]

Thank you so much Angie.... again its so very nice to meet you... will be by to read more of you !!! :)

[ba_mcfarlane]

This piece is intricate, a touch on the obtuse; which I like. Expressing the dark side of betrayal and soul pain, utilizing Muses as the vehicle to carry it all along, is way past clever. I admit, I sometimes use this perspective of the narrative myself. This is both powerful and polishedl. A great write

[Debbie_Philly]

Wow B thank you so much.... Yes sometimes are muses can be generous ... :) Good and Bad.... at the time.. I was laying in bed.. and jumped out and grabbed the pen... its what we must do or burst right?? Thank you again...looking forward to reading you as well !! :_

[Debbie_Philly]

[ba_mcfarlane]

I will be so self centred as to recommend "Pas de Deux." One of my favourites. Have a sweet evening

[Debbie_Philly]

Not self centered at all :) I will be by to read it ;)

[B-poet]

This poem is powerful, inciteful, endearing and it displays the true intentions of what lies beneath the surface of the muses motives to begin with. Fantastic work. :)

[Debbie_Philly]

Thank you so much B.... yes my muse was a liar for sure.... but it always came out in the ink ;) Thank you again so much !!

[Debbie_Philly]

I also cant wait to read your work !! :)

[Michael X]

Wow, raw, real and defined with a sculpted sense of what is real and what
is just illusion fading away like a love that never was, brilliantly conveyed.

[Debbie_Philly]

Thank you so much Micheal.... its such a compliment coming from you.... I will be over to read you again .... looking forward to it !!

[Debbie_Philly]

Raw, delicious, poignant and you dear, I loved this.... however I feel your angry and lost... the wonderings, and the pain.

"bewitched is your brain by meddlesome hags" such a beautiful wording love.

I love the picture too, we have definitely the same taste of art, because I've used this one a long time ago for a poem too... back in the row...

So powerful writing here, I feel you had to dig deep to bring it out, but it was all worth it. I'm grateful, you let us read.

[Debbie_Philly]

Thank you so much EL.... I wrote this back about 3 or 4 years ago when I found out my boyfriend was cheating.... the pic I got from Photobucket...

Its seems like Im always posting old piece..lol.... but I did just write a new one yesterday called Unprotected.,..... so I do have new ones... ;) Thank you again so much !!!

Ooooh love, can't wait to read... your quill is no matter how old the ink is devastatingly... curious about the new pieces. Writers who inspire me, I shall always follow. :D so glad you wrote it, and it's just a mervelous piece.

Many hugs, and good day tomorrow to you xo

P.s. I hope I wrote well English, I mean... your art is brilliant....

[Debbie_Philly]

Love to you and all bless you deserve xoxo

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Betrayal of a loved one is the ultimate pain we can endure... your words are raw and gritty and that certainly makes the emotional pain evident in this piece.

[Debbie_Philly]

Thank you so much Cowboy... this was a few years ago.. and at the time ... it was very painful :) Thanks again
