Original Betrayal

Original Betrayal

I tilt slow to the left,
Finding your word bereft!
Of living foundation,
Any wise preparation.

You seek only power!
Very late in the hour!
Having deceived yourself!
Leaving truth on the shelf!

I'll return to the right,
That has visible light!
Leave you dancing the wrong,
Ere a contrived lost song!

Truth mixed with waltzing lies!
Seeing no light; in dead eyes!

Jim in a nutshell...Wow!
Boy oh boy that is some poem you have written here and your choice of image adds to it.
Very ethereal and darkly haunting a real Sorcerer's Apprentice feel to it and pervades throughout.
Loved it!
A real sonnet of darkness and impending doom feel about it.
Loved it!
Have a good one and day also Jim and this so so poet wishes you well and thanks you my friend.

Wowsers Jim, this holds such an impact in its intent. Ending with such a line ! β€œSeeing no light; in dead eyes” gosh the sense of someone being lost to the darkness is evidenced perfectly here. Splendid imagery throughout this power tanked write πŸ‘ πŸ‘Œ

All the very bestΒ
