Unveiling the Intricacies of Language and Emotion in a Dance of Shadows and Truth

Its gloom covers the secret nooks, where soft whispers float.

A complex performance, a lovely interaction of language capable of changing and shifting viewpoints.

An elaborate web is spun and deceptions are directed using the artistic sensibilitiesation of a mastermind and the eloquence of a clever strategist.

Unseen forces control and cause suffering to the soul and heart distortion.

Words come forth with a certain ease, flowing naturally from lips that occasionally lie false and thoughts that periodically fail.

Illusions created of brittle conviction, turn dreams into ashes and gold into rot.

The fortitude of the heart collapsed beneath the shadow, hiding and obscuring its secrets.

A smile hides the laying of the snare.

a gentle stroke and a sweet entreaty.

Still, the brilliant truth will cut across the curtain to show the road to release.

In the end, the spirit prevails independent of the conditions.

You should protect your feelings and use caution while handling people who try to discredit your will.

Your great resilience protects the liar from understanding your wisdom.

    A smile hides the laying of the snare, is a great line.  Wow so many descriptions of writing in your poem. The word sensabilitiesation - new one for me. Loved your poem!❣️

  • Valuing truth over falsehood is so important in protecting one's self and society at large. Sadly a large contingency of people fall prey to falsehood, because falsehood is always adorned with the words they want to hear. Falsehood is attractive. The truth isn't always attractive. Excellent work!!!
