Unknown Foe The cold of steel, The sharp of blade. All the hate Yet betrayed. The shadow chill Behind our back. Cause some to smile While others laugh. A small treachery My mind appalls. My footsteps light Down every hall. Averted gaze, Blinded by light Who's shadow cast Out my sight. A shallow twist From one to me. Was it just? I think petty. Standards set I don't belong. What right have they To sing that song? Never knowing Heart nor mind Only seeing With eyes blind. Appalled and angered As you see Caused by ones Shameful deceit. © Copyright 2000 Kevin Lormand - All rights reserved.

Kevin, You've penned a poem of betrayal here, I felt the sharp jabbing pains with each verse with your staccato beat. Peace! Dennis :^) Moonbeams radiate When the veiling cloud has passed Playful shadows dance Dennis L. White :^) |

Great work. This should be in Dark passions. Ronil (The sweet sound of summer sends serenity through my soul searching for that evermore solitude.) |

Well this was great. Betrayal is awful and you expressed that perfectly. "I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust." I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

Kevin, This poem is excellent and reflects very well the way you were feeling I'm glad you were able to release the tension some through this poem. To bad this person who judged you is so blind to the wonderful person you are. |
