Array ( [sid] => 111701 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Deception [time] => 2005-12-18 14:20:40 [hometext] => [bodytext] => She was only make believe
An apparition to deceive
A wisp of smoke in dark of night
A ghost that keeps just out of sight
Another voice when all alone
That speeds the heart then chills the bone
A sound you heard beyond the door
Only these and nothing more



Damn the Gods for misconceptions
Wishful thoughts and misperceptions...

Foolish wastes of precious years

Sleepless nights and countless tears


Woe, this man with lover's dreams
Future plans and hopeful schemes
Bitter waking to reveal
She was never even real

Wow, Larry! Incredible! Such a bittersweet write, for although the
essence itself is quite bereaved, it was, (as always magnificently so),
penned flawlessly.

"Damn the Gods for misconceptions
Wishful thoughts and misperceptions..."


Loved those two lines. You capture this emotion so very well.
I'm sorry you find yourself in such an unhappy place right now ...
would that I could take it all away, my friend. Your writes continue
to put a sorrowful grip on my already weakened heart.

Well done, this one Larry.

Boy, this one's got quite a kick to it! These four lines:

Damn the Gods for misconceptions
Wishful thoughts and misperceptions...

Foolish wastes of precious years

Sleepless nights and countless tears


... have such a fabulous pace and rhythm to them. I must of said them aloud a half dozen times.

I'm not quite sure how you managed it, Larry... but you somehow threaded the line between anger, melancholy and strength. It's really quite impressive!

(who thinks she mixed up a couple metaphors there! lol)

Echoes of Poe in this urgent metre, I'm sure.
Fantasy sure is a powerful distraction from the empty real. A little pocket rocket of a write, Larry.
