Maybe they can lie to others
even onto them self
over and over
cheating and unfaithful
so that it might shake our balance
lies that thicken become the ego face
can no longer distinguish lies and reality
until it arrives at ignoring
on every caught lying
keep them away from themselves.
–
Maybe they were hijacked by world flickering sensation
but the breath of their soul, in solitude
has spent all their spiritual tears
has even melted the face of their humanity
but don’t worry about their attitude
or what they do to us
they contribute to us
into our enlightenment
after the small hidden door
of the rooms of lies, we find.

Well, then, you must indeed be the poet LaJenna mentions in her recent viril!
Unfortunately, I haven’t read the LaJenna post that mentions the poet, but maybe not me.
It was someone else Albert but two of us guess that it might have been you.
There may be traits that are somewhat similar, but I don’t write romantic poetry
I read it as being from the romantic period of literature which started in the 1800’s with people like Wordsworth and dealt with nature and the emotions of ordinary people, but I think folks here are talking about something else.
As far as I know, here are also some poets who write romanticism and everything to do with emotions between men and women. I myself also often write “romanticism” but in a different scope.
Amazing picture and message my friend.
This is thanks to your encouragement and support, LaJenna.
As always-amazingly beautiful picture and beautifully commented
As always, your compliment keeps encouraging my spirit.
Big man. I’m glad to see your power re-blended between your picture and your talent as a writer.
Thanks for the compliment, Elenka. Commitment to the challenges of photo 365 has made me more often and aware of posting photos indeed.
Great work, both the words and the image are amazing!
Thanks a lot for your visit and compliment, Mommy.
Always a pleasure my friend 🙂
Have a great day, Mommy.
Thank you, you too!!!!
Wow this is powerful along with the image Albert. I agree, it doesn’t matter what others may do to us, it is about our reaction, or non-reaction that matters.
Thanks for the compliment and thought, Carol.
It is cynical and blind to say that we only see falsehood and lies around us without seeing the reason, the great pain they give to themselves, and wisdom for us.
Indeed, you summed it up very well. I have been in that situation way too many times. But I do learn each time I walk away.
I more understand why you are so mature and wise.
