Simply Mendacious


Somewhere between being expressive and fictitious I got lost.
Never did it cross my mind such drama for nuance,
Maybe am not that adroit;
but lately you’ve been so vexatious,
Delving into an endless rest-
for a tinge of flattery from a set of dregs,
Tell me, are you that distraught
to let that go down your annals?
I did you no wrong so don’t expect-
solace- you got no case!
It’s no excuse to say you can always castigate,
Maybe I can’t be the judge as I am now witness,
but that won’t change a thing in this feint,
or the fact that your doing is your own duress.
And that’s why you don’t have much from which to obviate.
It’s not that cryptic, you’re being totally capricious.
You can’t be both gregarious and belligerent;
such a paradox really does irate!
For once in your life Admit that my passion-
was your means of keeping me distrait;
Never again will I try to appease-
by trying to please or being silent; 
when faced with a matter so outrageous;
peruse no further this poem as it is to attest;
what you really are- Simply Mendacious!

Poetry is a form of passionate expression kindled by an impression unbound by public conviction. I write mainly from two genres : impressionism and symbolism. Choose me or leave me, I'm not a backup plan and definitely not a second choice! Not everyone likes me but then again not everyone matters. What matters is peace and the feeling of being content. Every person is a book, this is just the place to share some pages from my book. Peace!
