Beware The Lair Of Lies ~Marge Tindal~ 2000 Beware the lair Lies of love take you there Entangled amidst burning fires of desire From the burning pit the smoke does emit never again to rise It lays in a haze shrouding the days of passion spent I hear the lament from deep in my soul No other wears these chains Alone amongst the lies I wove caught in my own lair of lies I suppose Defeated Tangled in the web of the lair left dangling in the web of my own making. *For an acquaintance who is going through a sad time of being caught in the sticky web of deceit. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Indeed, 'what a tangled web we weave....' And sadly when the trust is gone, ya can't ever get it back. Great poem, Marge. But of course! Denise And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than his worth; For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~ |

Elizabeth- Right you are. So unfortunate when one gets themselves in this web. The more they twist the tighter they stick. Thanks for the read, my friend. Denise- My ever grateful thanks to you for all your support. Suthern- Yeah ... ouch is what she's saying now. I can help with a lot of things ... someone's fibs isn't one of them. And Lord knows I do wish I could help. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Hope she/him doing better soon Very well done Marge The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Great poem Marge even though the topic is sticky. Whatever you write about you do so well. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

Bev- Good for you, gal. Thanks for the read. Spiked- Thank you ... and you're right, it sure can't be undone ... gets stickier. Helmut Becker- I hope he/she learns a valuable lesson on truth ... and living with the results of lies. Balladeer- Uh-Oh ... well, I'm not sure I've been a real friend in this case. Lies aren't something I live easily with ... however, you've made me think that perhaps I should try to be more of a friend to this person. Thanks, Michael ... *I just called this acquaintance and offered a shoulder* Rus- Thank you. Yeah, there's more allright. Usually is, huh? Rosemary- Thank you, lady, for your comments. Whiskey- I understand completely. I'm not one who sits well with lies ... but, guess I need to be more compassionate so perhaps this person will learn what damage they've done to themselves .... gosh, it's hard to say 'I understand' when I don't ... but, I've got to try harder to help. Martie- Thank you. Heh .. heh ... on the 'sticky'. Glad you enjoy. The feeling is mutual on your work, gal. *Thanks to all of you for the input. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
