    Opaque

    I see life through a glass hole.
    Trapped beyond the confinements of gaiety
    trapped within the mask I once eagerly put on.
    Hypocrisy is a well-known acquaintance;
    through their smiles, through their hugs. It doesn't matter whom.
    She's in them all... like a goddess she enchants them.
    Even those sweet natured are enticed by her misgivings,
    but Infidelity is much worse.
    She traps them with her sweet promises,
    when they've fallen, she thrusts a razor sharp knife into their hearts;
    slowly seeing the blood trickle down the knife, she smiles upon them.
    Her mouth wide open; yet, no sound resonates off of the deep obsidian walls. Not being able to cope much longer with such pretense,
    I let myself slip back into the comfortable presence of oblivion.

    Excellent poem. This particular poem almost had me going to the dictionary to understand the meaning of the word obsidian. LOL. Great use of imagery and personification. Great job. You should write more than just the 5 poems that you currently have on here. Especially in the English language. Si?

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
