Trodden Path (Quatern)

by Dorotea©   Jun 15, 2005


Trodden path, thou layeth ahead
An easy path for weary feet
Thy fruits, they tempt a fatigued soul
Luring this heart to thy failure

In the twilight, under the moon
Trodden path, thou layeth ahead
Tempting a mortal with false hopes
Of a journey easy to make

My eye watches others pass by
Lured by easy roads to travel
Trodden path, thou layeth ahead
Shall I too, fall into thy lies?

Minds of weak will cannot resist
Deception hidden beneath truth
Alas, my soul must make its choice,
Trodden path, thou layeth ahead.

    Tip: Write a poem, saying something like 'hate love death yes i will edit this poem', in the category and title you want.

    Then quickly go to 'edit' and copy and paste the poem you want in there..(deleting whatever you put in there in the mean time)

    this circumvents the spell checker (which is probably illegal to the rules on this site, but since you are a well respected writer and not actually using bad spelling at all they will probably overlook it if they notice it at all)
