Altered Deception

Twisted perceptions
Of lives we endure
Open strife mounting
In troubles procured.
Lost in the wastes
And abandoned are dreams
Giving rise to the heartaches
That burst at the seams.

Passion with decadence
Perverting what's right
Nothing's the same
Though changes are slight.

The spirit speaks softly
Most never will hear
What's caught by the whispers
Are dropped by the ear.
What's spoken by heart
Are deceived by the deeds
Misguided and gelded
Forgotten are needs.

Misplaced is the light
For we look not within
Considered deceptions
As we look for a win.
Construed in this nature
All exceptions are lost
Tally the sum
And defined is the cost.

Conceived in true spirit
While taken to heart
Think while you can
While a wisdom imparts.

Twisted perceptions
Forbid us to dream
The spirit speaks softly
Of what we've forgotten to need.
Misplaced is the light,
For if we look not within
All exceptions are lost
As we sink in our swim.

This makes loud irritated warning animal screams go off in my head. The whole write is a slap upside the head to pay attention. Nicely, nicely done!

At times we give of ourselves to another but seem to loose ourselves in the process. Good write as always my friend

in the process of winning at all cost we often loose sight of the prize...nicely done...

Thanks pkh, my hope is that we can all relate to this.

Aww, thanks LAMom.

Thanks Mystique, I'm glad you liked it.

Thanks DKW, the attention payed is one's reward.

Aww, thanks TxsGal. Very true.

Ahh yes KC, Very true my friend. Thanks. As always, life seems, at best, a compromise most times. In that compromise we find the treasures awaiting us down the road.

When living out weighs living. We can only not die.
Just move, speak, and seem to still be inside this shell that hides.


Nice write bro... and very deep but true to form as the humans we all are,wink..

Thanks iam4u. I'mglad you liked it bro.
