Playing at Spies

A collaboration with a splendid poet, Mr. Rajaniemi..!

Playing At Spies

by Raj Rajaniemi 

&

Jyoti, Writer's Cafe Poets

People never seem to change
all that much
but, she had.
It seems that her face had been rearranged
somewhat.
I felt like, that I had been had.
There were scars, of love and war.
An array of veracity!
The light on her face beckoned me.
An enigma to explore and behold.
There was a brimming audacity.

I asked myself. " What is she playing at"?
I approached her, looked right straight into her pale blues.
Been awhile, not that you'd notice by your smile!
She grinned at me!
"Why the plastic face", I asked?
She said, " The Company thinks that I am dead"
Not dead for the living perhaps, but invisible to the world!
I sit in the shadows now, the sun is harsh on the face!
Life has been nothing but, a lie.
Only this facade can blend me in and shun the pain.

Don't worry! I'll cover your tracks at the company!
I owe you for many good actions in many a far flung
piece of dung, dirt Republic. Disappear again! I never saw you.
I turned. And when I looked back, she was gone.

Very good effort of two talented Poets.
"There were scars, of love and war.
An array of veracity!
The light on her face beckoned me.
An enigma to explore and behold.
There was a brimming audacity."
The above lines were my favorite. They were honest and direct. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Oh yes... There always seems to be someone who goes through an orgasmic painful change of life and you expressed that in a fantastic way.
Wonderful post

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

Thank you. But the original idea is from Mr. Rajaneimi.
Glad you liked it.

If anything is in motion for eternity then it's life. And the changes it lures along with it can effectively change our perspective too.
A good piece indeed especially when its a collaboration as its hard to be in resonance with each other.

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

Indeed! Change gives momentum to, otherwise uneventful, life.
Thank you for the kind review!

Collaborations can be a challenge, they require the right people who possess the talents, abilities and patience that allows a common understanding between them to communicate on a higher level. The quality of your writing shows that the two of you have accomplished this level of understanding and communication, well done:~)
Critique: The sentence structure is a little off and hinders the flow somewhat.

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

Thank you Bear, for your kind words and the helpful critique!

[FaeryQueen]

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

Life has a way of doing this and at some point people change, and what they say might blend into the myriad memories that are created, but, will always remain to be recalled when needed...I enjoyed this collaboration, you two; well-done!

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it! :)
