Darkly burnt parchment ~

darkly burnt parchment

        as forlorn ashes float to abandoned ether

piercing the skies in mass hysteria's delusions

        simplicity scorched within your persuasion

brainwashed heart yearning's written on the walls

        seduction's illusion was the grand scheme

blinded by the light of braille's cardboard words 

         spaces 'tween lies & sanctimonious allusion

Ahh, gotta love getting lost in sanctimonious allusion -- you have this way of cleansing emotions through the use clever vocabulary strung together, that taken separately, each part is innocuous, but taken as a whole oozes powerful feelings. Now, as to the sappy song ...:)

Haha you crack me up K....it was between that one and Lies, guess I flunked! ;)

[Lyn Anderson]

Oh, you like the sap, and I love you in spite of it, or maybe because of it ...

[Frieda P]

I like both, but yep I can be a pushover....

Blinded by the light of braille's cardboard words.
I agree.Betrayal is a b***h... and to be cheated on by your other half is a really pathetic feeling.The allegory of burnt parchment truly mirrors the burnt pieces of emotions.As always expertly woven words. ;) well done again Freida..

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Love can certainly pull the wool over your eyes, I think that is why they say love is blind, well one reason… another poem written with golf flare and creative verses.

[Frieda P]

Is that why...? golf flare? I'll take it...thanks Dale.
