Masks of Deceit




In a world of masks and feigned embrace,

I walk a path through falsehood's endless chase,

Surrounded by faces, all cloaked in love's attire,

But beneath their masks, the flames of greed conspire.

 

They speak of love with honeyed words so sweet,

Yet, beneath the surface, their intentions discreet,

Each time my salary arrives, I'm filled with dread,

For the vultures gather, waiting to be fed.

 

They come with smiles, their hands outstretched,

Their feigned affection, carefully fetched,

They promise loyalty, they swear they care,

But all they seek is riches, unfair and rare.

 

I yearn for bonds that transcend mere gold,

For hearts that cherish, not ones bought and sold,

I offer what I have, with hope sincere,

That one day, true loyalty will draw near.

 

But as the months go by, the pattern repeats,

Their hunger for my wealth, a voracious beat,

I give and give, until there's nothing left,

And in their eyes, I see a heartless theft.

 

Yet, still, I cling to hope, though it wanes,

That one day, love's truth will break these chains,

That loyalty will rise above the lust for gain,

And in their hearts, true love will reign.

 

For beneath this weary facade, I stand strong,

Resilient in the face of deceitful throng,

I yearn for love that's genuine and pure,

A love that's steadfast, strong, and sure.

 

I'll keep my faith, though the world may deceive,

In search of love, I'll continue to believe,

That someday, authenticity will rise above,

And I'll find true loyalty, a treasure trove of love.

"Solitary Flight"

Image
On wings of dreams, my spirit soars, Yet in their absence, uncertainty roars. Hope to grasp my goals, I implore, Seeking that day, secure and sure. Alone I stand, a self-grown tree, From a single seed, I found my decree. In moments frail, when odds abound, I crumble, weep, on solitude's ground. No soul to fathom my hidden sorrow, Inequity's hand, I've borne tomorrow. Wealth on display, yet peace denied, Loneliness dwells, a constant tide. No love to warm this heart of stone, Though to others, my love is shown. They cling for gain, their motives clear, No one to stay, no one to endear. A mirage of love, a desert's grace, In this solitary, endless chase.

"Beneath Celestial Wings: Dreams of a Girl's Journey Through Time"

Image
In the realm of dreams, a girl aspires, To soar on wings, her spirit on fire. A longing to transcend earthly bounds, To dance with clouds, where freedom resounds. In twilight's embrace, she closes her eyes, Envisioning a canvas of cerulean skies. Imagining a world beyond mortal strife, Where beauty unfolds in the afterlife. Her dreams take flight on ethereal wings, Exploring realms where the soul sings. A tapestry woven with colors untold, As she envisions a destiny to unfold. Through cycles of life, a cosmic ballet, Reincarnation's mystique in the astral array. A phoenix rising from the ashes of time, Each rebirth, a new paradigm. In the tapestry of existence, threads intertwine, Past and future, a cosmic design. She dreams of lifetimes, an eternal quest, A soul's journey, an unwavering zest. A butterfly emerging from a cocoon, A symphony played on the moon. In each rebirth, a chance to refine, The essence of self, an eternal design. Through the corridors of time, she weav

"Resilience Unveiled”

Image
In childhood's realm, as an only child, I thrived, My parents' love, the warmth in which I dived, With every sunrise, my world felt so alive, In their embrace, my heart was deeply tied.   But life took a turn, down a different trail, A marriage bond that cloaked me in betrayal, They hungered for my gold, my heart grew pale, My father's gifts, like fleeting dreams, set sail.   In that abyss, my spirit felt confined, A web of greed, deceit that undermined, The love I'd cherished, now cruelly maligned, In shadows deep, my happiness declined.   But through the darkest nights, I found a way, Education's beacon lit the path, I'd say, A job, well-paying, where dreams could sway, I vowed to leave my past's disarray.   With every paycheck, my spirit soared anew, No longer trapped, my strength and hope in view, I stand today, a life that's tried and true, No more tears, no more false ado.   I've learned that riches aren't just gold's embrace, True weal
