Deception’s Web



The silken lies of despite’s fame
Threaded in web of reckless shame
Touch the warp and weft of true
Taking hope and heart of you

Heed my words of wisdom here
Else you will live your life in fear
Listen not to deception’s voice
Or you’ll lose the hope of choice

Caught hearts of joy in hated hold
Left them bedraggled and so cold
Twisted within a painful wrench
Nailed in blood to liars bench

This web of silken lies of pain
Hold you bound in tortured shame
Steal your soul without a doubt
Leave you desperate now without

Listen now please listen well
This your future I’ll foretell
A web of lies will kill all true
Then what becomes of you?

Marsha

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Marsha, this is so very sad, my heart goes out to all who let themselves fall into this web of lies and I pray that we can all set ourselves free and let the wings of our heart rise to love and hope always! (kiss on cheek) My heart goes out to you, sweet friend, we all love you so much, this is fabulous! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Marsha, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Marsha, darling girl. You write with the wisdom of God! And you do it so beautifully.  

Heed my words of wisdom here
Else you will live your life in fear
Listen not to deception’s voice
Or you’ll lose the hope of choice

May I add?

A captured life with grief and pain
Is worse than death, a life in vain
Bound tight in bondage chained in fire
With no release to soothe desire.

So listen to these words I say
Release! Be free! Today! Today!
Come fly with me forever free
Leave deception! Find truth with me.

As always, Marsha, you poetry is more than wonderfully constructed phrases and rhyme; your poetry is sweet ambrosia of wisdom.

I love your poetry and I love you, as always.

Newell

Marsha,
this is your best ever, your absolute best. It reaches out and grabs the reader spins them up tight and flings them out again, breathless. Wow! I am at a loss for words and you know how hard it is to cause that. *Huggles*

Has the spider taken leave
of the very web he'd weave?
Will the fly come light again?
No matter where, just timing when...

Very good Mushy....very good!

Magnificent...there is so much truth in your words....I know Deception's Web...having been caught in it when I was foolish enough to believe someone could love me...It leaves one shattered and without true hope...You have said it perfectly...Thank you...**big big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

’Deer dearest heart thank you so much, however love, let’s face it is about time I started to improve. As you’ve said before it takes practice, well, I believe that if I practised for eternity I still wouldn’t be good. I can only keep trying. Thank you for the encouragement, I need it.
