Many faces he does wear cloaked in cloth of deceit but to serve what purpose? When caught he quickly retreats. Hidden within many colors shaded in sharing of dreams while whittling away in thought of how to activate his next scheme. He preys upon the meek endeaering self to broken hearts offering an ear of listen a way to make his start. Showing a different face daily hidden among many names each one held in secret while playing obscure head games. The cloth, it can wear thin til' suddenly truth comes into view until he, of many faces no longer knows who is who...... somebody tell me, please help me.... |

  (sigh) Oh Donna, this is wonderful, sweet friend, this is sad but so wonderfully detailed, lies can indeed even our own eyes and have us wondering if those we know are really the same! (kiss on cheek) Very well-said, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!

Very enjoyable. Beware of who we trust with our heart. Man of many faces where does his feelings start? |

Donna, this sounds like the priests in Boston who have been abusing children. Hiding their many faces and hiding behind 'the cloth.' Excellent write ... Hugs, Marti "Even if life is full of thorns, |

Deceit, Deception.....Lies.... all so harmful to anyone...a very hurting feeling when one learns that is all they were wanted for.....for someone else to get some personal gratification.... Sad, very sad..... Thanx for this Donna... |

Thank you all for the replies. Magnus, I think you just summed it up perfectly. Deceit and lies are not the way to become my best friend fast that is for sure. So many get hurt through unkind acts as that. My thanks again to all. somebody tell me, please help me.... |

So sadly close to home for me. For my best friend, whom we took into our family, and she called me her sister. Yea. Right. Until my money gave out, due to unforeseen circumstances....THEN to realize she was never ever even a friend, must less as close as a sister. It hurt. Badly. For, I loved her like the sister, whom had died at birth...the one I never got to know. Your poem is so true: As they say beware of wolves in sheep's clothing. Take care, Coway |
