Art of Deception
The art of deception
Is a magician's illusion
To make one’s conception
Become their conclusion
But once you arrive at
The Big Top Show
You’re loved and adored
For the truth they don’t know
The fear that you feel
That you’ll be exposed
Makes your heart beat faster
Enough to explode
The lie that you live
Underneath your mask
Is an unwanted chore
A laboring task
It gets hot in the mask
And under your skin
The only way to vent
Is to reveal your sin
So I stand here naked
Please come to my reception
Immediately following
My “Art of Deception”
Hors d’oeuvres will be served

Not done yet huh :p This poem made me change my perception of you. I liked it witty and easily read. Plus I can relate to bits of it. Good write.

If you can't laugh at yourself
Thank you Nash... I am not going to take my poems down... I'm glad that you saw the humor in it... If you can't laugh at yourself... then you just don't have a sense of humor! But I am going to take a break for a while... You keep on writing you have a special gift for it and you should see where it takes you!
Thank you so much for all the nice things you said in all your comments!
I will be back!

Where'd you go??
Long time no blog.. bloggers block? Me too.
Golly Geo
I'm still writing... In the seldom free time I have been working on a novel... The only poems that I have written are for friend's and family member's birthdays... It's nice to know you miss me though :)... ... There is so much to write about... If you are blocked you should go to Poet's Creek... or the Zoo... maybe you can write about something dramatic like falling Ice Cream!
Thanks for thinking of me ... I hope all is well!
