Truthful pretense

Sweet darkness, timidly

play your ghostly notes

Of this unfinished symmetry,

As I live on borrowed quotes.

 

Tears of liquid sovereignty inside -

Forever unspoken tales…

Behind bogus happiness I hide

Chasing holographic trails…

 

And if the dead can dance

Why can’t I do it too?

Tempests of hollow romance

I have yet to subdue…

Love and romance a void in my life dancing partners are few and in between Life expectancy Give to me Lord another 12 years of the endless misery.

Seems a question to yourself.. an opening of Self, exposing doubts perhaps.. of finding who you are.. two halves of a coin.. maybe sadness, happiness.. I don't know, need read it again..

'Behind bogus happiness I hide
Chasing holographic trails…'

You write so smoothly, whether dark or light phrasing.. and in this there IS a dance movement, perhaps indicated by your beautiful ballerina.

Am gasping, tears in my eyes, what an extraordinary video.. beautiful... as are your words. Ana..

[Suhd]

Such a beautiful poem, liked it a lot :)

[Ana B.]

Thank you :)

[Gee]

I've read all of the clever folks reviews and guess tis is a poem of longing. What impresses me most is the rhyming and effortless flow, oh, and the fact you have a far better grasp of Lizzies English than I ever will have

[Ana B.]

This is actually a poem of self-deception. Thank you for saying that, especially that English is not my mother's language :)

[Gee]

It is mine, I know, it's hard to believe. I think mother put me up for adoption when I dropped my first aitch and spelled kween incorrectly

[Ana B.]

haha, could be worse...
