Emerald Disposition

The truth hurts - a honest understatement

Treachery tickles me,
Though it's not mine to feel.
In a looking-glass I conceal your red tape murder,
And the reflection of emerald disposition.

Paradox prevails in your morality.

A crystal skull lying in the lap of it's lovers bones
Is fateful at best
To the wicked that rest
With ears held on by adhesive only.

Truth is the tale not told at birth,
Caressed in corpses
For it's painful worth
That's sceptre held a flame of fallen embers.

Your layers pave a broken path,
A masochistic aftermath
With means to a plunge of distortion.

Cruel remorse is a gift when secrets go unmade -
An honest story steals the day ahead with a hurricane.

Rain is forecast by a torched stomach
And the stars stay veiled
By flinching remains of your lustful lullaby
That reassigns the map I made,
Once upon a time

A poet who simply writes what is in her mind doesn't write rusty. Although, there is the saying "you rest,you rust". But it doesn't really apply in all situations.

Coming to the poem itself, the portrayal of truth as such a tragedy is well understood. Though in my view, it's not only truth being said but about reality itself being a painful mystery compared to fiction. Though, that view was only made by my understanding and own realizations. I don't really know if you meant it. Also your imagery and symbolism is quite exquisite, it took me a while to completely understand this poem.

I can sympathize a lot about the message on truth portrayed in this poem, but through different realizations and experiences. I find this magnificent in its meaning and beautiful in its abstract imagery. Wonderful piece.

That is exactly what I was trying to portray, I'm glad you grasped it clearly! And I'm sure you can tell by my inability to write realistically, instead playing with things in a fantastical style, that I find reality much harder to capture. Thanks for reading

" Paradox prevails in your morality. " - Good Line

[Ohhhwillow]

Thank you! :)

[Frieda P]

Outstanding, not rusty at all...tells a story of deceit breach of trust and cover ups.

A crystal skull lying in the lap of it's lovers bones

That in itself is a poem....lovely, I have to wonder is this has to do with abuse, or is it just where my mindset goes. 'Lustful lullaby' makes me wonder.

[Ohhhwillow]

I'm glad you still enjoyed this Frieda. It's more about mental beating and emotional pain than any physical abuse, but I can see how you made that connection!

[Mary Christabel George]

Yes, it is true that truth hurts.
"Truth is the tale not told at birth" is great line.
You unmasked everything about truth & how we go about it.

[Ohhhwillow]

Thanks Mary, I really wanted to unveil this, I'm sure it's something we have all felt at some point

[Mary Christabel George]

Yes, you are right.
Welcome always.

"Your layers have a broken path. A masochistic aftermath." Priceless line. Great job.

[Ohhhwillow]

Thank you Mark always a pleasure to hear from you!

[pasdepoisson]

Awesome! I like the abstraction- it's really interesting to move from image to image and try to figure it out as you're going. It also suits the kinda relativistic theme of the poem.

[Ohhhwillow]

Thanks for reading and reviewing friend. :)

[Lina Grey]

"Teachery" treachery? "massochistic" masochistic?
just the two spelling mistakes, I found. Even rusty, your writing is superb, your imagery exquisite. Definitely got that Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull vibe, so it ain't just Tai(:
love it hun

[Ohhhwillow]

Thank you for pointing out my careless mistakes Lina, and remind me never to post when I've just woken up! I do love a bit of Indiana Jones, glad you enjoyed this and thank you for reviewing! :)

[Lina Grey]

lol remember: do not post writing if you've just woken up! :)
your welcome hun. anytime.

[Tai Ryens]

Reminds me of Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. Just me? Okay.

[Ohhhwillow]

Haha after writing it I was like Ohh shitt that sounds like the movie title!

[Luke Rawlings]

A really good piece as usual, just some typing errors in there. A crystal skull lying in the lap of it's lovers bones/Is fateful at best/To the wicked that rest/With ears held on by adhesive only. A really good verse, I love the necromantic imagery.

[Ohhhwillow]

Thank you Luke, I typed it up in the morning so will run over it and hopefully fix that. Glad you enjoyed this :)

[Luke Rawlings]

No problem, and I did. Makes it a good pasttime :)
