A temple of lies

by mier   Oct 2, 2007


While I descend in quiet miseries,
the night confined me in solitary guilt.
Deception escaping my rotting lips,
hurting and confusing the ones I need.

I silently dwell on the other side,
quoting prayers of a perpetual liar.
Suffocating from unspoken verity,
slowly drowning in a sea of fire.

Desolation in my hypocrisy,
enlightening shame upon a careless face.
Going against my mental oddity,
I'm not taking the blame for my mistakes.

I worship the deity of perjurer,
tempted by grievous truth and somber eyes.
From a nomadic to a believer,
I am trammeled in a temple of lies.

    I'm honestly impressed! This piece has greatly created, dark atmosphere along with excellent, unique descriptions. Very effective poem.
    This stanza is my favorite one:

    -I silently dwell on the other side,
    quoting prayers of a perpetual liar.
    Suffocating from unspoken verity,
    slowly drowning in a sea of fire.-

    It is deep and it has fantastic imagery.
    I like the ending a lot, too. It rounds up whole poem greatly and it is very effective.
    Keep up!
