She deceives...

Sometimes we give into things that make no sense at all

Dusty treasures I have carried
Dreams.
Passions.
Wishes of tomorrows to come.
Like cob-webs they formed
Lasting impressions
For the wonder of all they held
Like vines, tearing into the inner soul,
they wrapped their hands like a cocoon
Till my thoughts are no longer mine
Inwards they go, towards the deep darkness
Of soul wrenching agony,
pain deep, so deep it scares and sears the skin
And I scream.
'Oh move forward', I beg
Yet she doesn't listen,
this voice of insanity, promises never to come.
Instead laughs that oh so wicked laugh at me
Her voice a mere whisper
Yet I can hear her.
Oh yes.
Silky, deceiving, yet oh so powerful
'Listen' she says. 'Come' she invites
And eyes closed, I move willingly
Like in a fog, towards her chant
And she deceives
Knowingly, I move towards her.

Oh yes.. She deceives...

their are so many layers to this poem..trust, temptation, anger, control, deception..a controlled poem, executed beautifully

[mikkiblueyes]

This is beautifully written! Think it's my fav...so far:)

[E.H. Monroe]

temptation characterized as female by a female...
look at you partially taking the blame. This does show the temptation in the everyday of a moving personified character.

You leave lots of questions to wonder/ponder, I think we are all pulled one way or another, maybe we choose which way to leave, I hope so, good poem
