Hidden Lies

Love once shattered my soul
painful dreams shadowed me
from all harm, scars settled
deep inside.

Time slips by
memories of who she was
scatter as the breeze bellows
through the trees.

Tender thoughts flee endlessly
intensity floods with every beat
mummers trigger misfire
frozen alibis melt the truth away.

Time slips by
ecstasy dissipates from
hidden lies.
Reflections of inner heart.

Hi Kat,

Hi Kat,

welcome to Neopoet, I see you've found your way.
I think because your poem is personal, it's good as it is,
any desire to improve it; just follow your heart.
Greetings,
Erwin

Hello

Welcome to "Neopoet land of the freed poets"
I love it when a poet seems to be speaking from their own heart.
it's a well written poem.
There's just one thing, you start in the first person in the first stanza, which for me makes it your pain.
I don't understand why you took it out of the personal. to me that's the power of this write.
But that's just my opinion, it's your poem.
Enjoyed reading it very much!

Regards
Eddie
