the ass-end of space

I do not ask your forgiveness
nor do I offer my own
I heard your voice, strong and proud
but the louder the voice the weaker the man
Words once held me, in sweet tongue of promise
enchantment to ears pricked for answers to questions loom
Until I'd found the right one to ask
and in the clear of smoke and break of mirrors
The illusions lay revealed
as did you my charlatan friend

...the louder the voice the weaker the man...

how much truth
in this one line...

thank you.

And this,
"and in the clear of smoke and break of mirrors
The illusions lay revealed
as did you, my charlatan friend"

Nice one.

Even shattered mirrors can reveal evasive illusions.
You ooze poetry, yanno?

Better to get with the picture
no matter how disillusioning it is!
(I guess)

This speaks to me!

Thank you sir~

Bluesy thank you kindly madame for the lovely reply

Carol i don't know if it's entirely sad, it's a discovery and then you move on, in this case wiser and maybe stronger down the line

Another and bigger and hug for Dixie
