~Deception~

 

 

 

 

Darkness sneaks up

shatters the truth, deception is

easily spoken, the cries of a wolf

echo’s through out the hills stirs

up dissension.

 

 

 

The crowd gathers come to see,

walk unknowingly  into a fool’s folly.

he masquerades in many faces has

you blinded by all his fantasies.

 

 

 

you will hear honey laced lips sweet;

beware they are traced with venom

they speak of innocence, trying to

overcome defeat, tricking you into

believing.

 

 

 

that he is who he is, but I know

him only as a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

 

Rend The Veil

    Hi Rend ~

    Great images & phrasing! Loved "fool's folley" and the scene that plays out here.
    The masquerade, the honey laced lips traced with venom, right down to the classic line of deception: wolf in sheeps clothing.

    Wonderful job, my friend.

    Love & blessings,

    ~ TIm

    There are many wolves out there some come in the form of men whiler others retain thier beastly attitudes others may well appear as ordinary as a town squire.

    All we can hope to do is have a good shepard that will keep us safe and true.

    I like it, I like it so!

    To me, this speaks of naive, reckless love affairs and the almost always resulting emotional damage if one is not careful.

    Powerful write dear.

    Nicely done

    Nice job of portraying the "wolf", but he only exists because he speaks what you want to hear. That's the whole attraction to this "bad boy". He also makes for good writes. The wolf is bitter sweet
    There's a little wolf in all of us.
    Love your writing style.

    I think you have caught the essence of "a wolf in sheep-cloths" very well. Some wonderful lines with brilliant imagery. I like your unique style of writing. You gets a more distinguished poetic voice. Good luck to you

    Rend you have wrapped your words around a concept that many have trouble with. everyone has experienced deception, but the depths of our experience is what makes it so hard for others outside our experiences to really feel what we try to convey, but you've done really well with it in this poem, and the background you've chosen also transmits the complete darkness we feel when we are its victim.

    Ah, it is a bitter sweet liberation when the thin vail of deception, lifts from fogged in eyes.
    The freedom is oh so sweet, but more often than not is overshadowed by the callousing of your character. One must always be vigilent, not to fall pray, to their emotional bomarang.
    Great poem and some killer metaphores.

    I love the use of 'wolf in sheeps clothing' and the whole metarphor throughout this piece highlighting deception, the danger and distruction it can cause but also how easily people can be taken in without realisation, how easy it is to accomplish.

    Good write.

    First, the background.. I LOVE it!
    You've written about something that we've all probably encountered. I especially like the part of the crowd "come to see.' I'm not sure how you intended it, but it made me think of how foolish you feel when you realize you've been deceived and feel like everyone knew..except you. You've described the person perfectly. From the charming sly ways up until your final words... bravo!!

      Stacy,

      I didnt see it that way, but then again its a perfect take,
      i saw it as a someone crying wolf and all the attention they get
      doing it, but i love your view better, i might add,
      Thank you my sweet sis,
      bless you so much

        Well, I said "what they [people] say about the devil," but that doesn't mean I believe such entity exists...I don't believe in that stuff...As far as friends, just "friends," they come cheap, really; good friends, on the other hand, are rare and precious...Good friends are people we actually know to be real, people with whom we have coffee, or go to movies, share deep thoughts and innocent hugs...So, I say treat everyone friendly, but be leery...Again, The following is what people say and not my thought: When the devil is nice to you, he or she wants your soul.
