T ~ truths hidden behind the mask

you caught my eye

intriguing me

with your poetic words

and warm smile

I opened my closed door

hesitant to trust

we shared morning moments

reading poetry until

we landed on the bed

locking in passion beyond words

you captured my heart

swept me off my feet

with your gracious hands

and warm heart

kissing me tenderly

caressing me with artist hands

you whispered beautiful words

full of promises

I opened my locked heart

trembling…

feeling something was not right

I listening to you instead of me

only to learn some months in

you were a lie.

Duel Poetry:  a prearranged poetry writing challenge  between two people to evolve a new poem where each writer must respond to the other writer’s lines  (4 -5 ) until both parties agree that the poem is complete.

 Charlie has an audio reading and
