Coward the Liar

The days are long; the wounds are deep. Fate; the last scene flashes. I try to understand, but I cannot. I am not capable of such treachery, not without cause. I am in a corner flanked by what I discern and what I suffer. Two worlds collide, ever engaged in combat.

Tis true the purest idea of love is a mockery. Yet, it was the solitary expedition that drove me; my objective, my longing, ever before me and never within reach.  A fool’s dream. Do I ever learn? What hope is present, but none? I speak but the words come again negated.

Cowards tell tales. They dread to confront realities of emotional famine and undistinguished maturity. Cowards conceal behind the masquerade of their treachery; powerless, disinclined to deal with the inhibition of self-sacrifice and acquiescence. Is it pride? Is it a callused spirit? What beats in the heart of a man that he should crave? And at the highest charge? I beseech to know. There is an answer, but the liar imparts none.

What is a liar to him self? How can he slumber when night draws and all he has is he? Does the indignity and remorse remain silent? Can the impostor submerge them so deep? When did his honor fail? Or did he in no way ever acquire it? Does he not suffer for others as himself? These answers have eluded me.

The only thing I found distracting about this work was the difference between English and American English. Honour instead of honor for example. This work is sharp and angry. A marvelously reflective work that asks so many questions that only the reader can answer. A very personal read, and dependant upon the reader, depends on the answers. Cracking read.

Excellent write treachery and deceit.

[Cree Nations]

Great read. Enjoyed reading your words. Cowards lie and liars are definitely cowards.
"These answers have eluded me."

colossal piece of writing, packed with charge and a love for righteousness. A certain tone to it from another day, not always better days but memorable ones. Really enjoyed this and made me think

Those elusive answers...never quite cornered such that we can study them.

Wish it were a matter of connecting dots..at least dots don't move.

Heartfelt piece...nice work..

This poem open the door to a long conversation that have a million answers. Honor and lies are two different stories. Pride can lead you to mistakes. Indignity and remorse mean we had lived and learn. A outstanding poem. the goal of a writer is to make the reader think. You did. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.
