Deceit wears a Janus face;
itself-veiled in angelic façade
whose fixed smile
is magnetized mesmerism;

Unhappiness breeds contempt
teasing innocence 
into its woven web of misery;

Morality, not favored nor desired,
decayed in the cocooned cell
created in the web’s confining labyrinth;

Compassion, a stranger of instinct,
has failed to be learned—Suffering relieved
only by that of others—What greater healing
than injecting such on those once loved?

Bereft of reasoning, misery seeks misery
and forgiveness remains an elusive discovery;
tears, an unemotional exhaust of afterthought;
leaving a dry mirroring sheen—Cracked.
Cracked and washed away with a morning shower.

How long before the reservoir of grief
runs dry;
and the cistern of love overflows?

Excellent write mlowe5. Such vivid imagery and a very thought provoking question at the end. Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks. This write festered in the womb of mind for so many months. A painful birth indeed; but such is the pain of joy! Much appreciation for your poetic listening. Peace, Love and more Light, mlowe5
