Playing At Spies

by Raj Rajaniemi 

&

Jyoti, Writer's Cafe Poets

People never seem to change
all that much
but, she had.
It seems that her face had been rearranged
somewhat.
I felt like, that I had been had.
There were scars, of love and war.
An array of veracity!
The light on her face beckoned me.
An enigma to explore and behold.
There was a brimming audacity.

I asked myself. " What is she playing at"?
I approached her, looked right straight into her pale blues.
Been awhile, not that you'd notice by your smile!
She grinned at me!
"Why the plastic face", I asked?
She said, " The Company thinks that I am dead"
Not dead for the living perhaps, but invisible to the world!
I sit in the shadows now, the sun is harsh on the face!
Life has been nothing but, a lie.
Only this facade can blend me in and shun the pain.

Don't worry! I'll cover your tracks at the company!
I owe you for many good actions in many a far flung
piece of dung, dirt Republic. Disappear again! I never saw you.
I turned. And when I looked back, she was gone.

Very good effort of two talented Poets.
"There were scars, of love and war.
An array of veracity!
The light on her face beckoned me.
An enigma to explore and behold.
There was a brimming audacity."
The above lines were my favorite. They were honest and direct. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.
