Deception

A mesh of opinion in prose format.

Deception; a beauty few acknowledge or dare to perceive. A mirror that beckons to be shattered, a naive promise filled with expectations, riddling our lives. The notion of peeling away the shell feigns excitement, but upon further inspection, doubt and apprehension ambush the innocent. Consequently, the coarse truth emerges and possibility implodes with newness while obliterating past notions. To spend time and hope excavating a hollow entity? To dig a breeding ground for resentment? It all seems for naught.

And so, risk; unable to be countered with bravery or proof from past excavations.

And yet, we expect someone to stray from such just for us? Oh, the hypocrisy!

The first step to know somebody is self-knowledge. It's sometimes very revealing to hold a mirror or peiling away the shell as you say it. But I think it's a necessary step you or I for that matter to set before you can comment on anyone else. And now I have to review your poem, isn't that a coincidence. No, without joking you have put it very well. Enjoyed reading it.

I never quite explored the thought that it is necessary to look past in order to form a true opinion. I love when a review enlightens me to a new thought, thank you!

My pleasure, Klo :)

Well Kilo this reminded me of Debussy and I say that because of your affinity to music. In as much as it is a dissonant theme weaved through consonnat words. It is not so much the rationale given to the sequence but rather the "Texture"? ( we won't use the word Nuance as Debussy hated nearly as much as the word impressionist) becuase the journey is inviting. Look at this moment so deceptive it went the wrong way round yet instead of me focusing on my anger and becoming blind you invite the observe to ask the question:

Isn't it an enchanting experience to come out of something deceptive having found out something useful?

I Thought it was humorous how you called it a poem written in prose form.

Thankyou

What a unique connection! I am flattered, and I truly appreciate that your reviews thread in aspects of music. Also, I find "texture" to be suitable.

You understood my message perfectly, and rephrased it rather beautifully I may add!

A poem written in prose form does sound a bit silly, but it was the most accurate label I found.

Thank you!

Though this may not mean much because I'm new to W.C. I really like this poem amd think it's perfect.

The time you take to share your thoughts weighs equally to any veteran on WC. (I also am very new to the site!)
Thank you for the kind words!
