Turmoil blankets the night... <br />Just sediments of yesterdays dawn-- <br />From noontimes savage scramble... <br />To midnights hour-long gone; <br />Webbed in corners of deceit... <br />Tangible silk-like threads of regret... <br />Oh, what a tangled web we oft' times weave... <br />Cast in memories we cannot forget; <br />Hauntingly the anger it echos still... <br />Tossed in a tempest of: Never Again--! <br />Splitting its seams-the truth pushes through-- <br />Addressing the game that we can never win; <br />Impoverished and starved for true affection... <br />With no comfort coming from a strangers arms... <br />Facing the reality of past situations of sheer pain... <br />Reflecting upon-the pretense of your charms; <br />Walking away never to look back... <br />Bridges are burned and never returned... <br />Closing the gate upon misbegotten fate-- <br />For you there is no need for any concern; <br /> <br />The Essence <br />September,2010<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/counterfit-dreams/
