For You

I have a friend in poets land,
though I've never seen her face.
I read her words,
I hear her cry,
My heart begins to ache.

In disguise, the devil lurks,
His beauty filled with vile,
He winks, and slowly
walks to her,
with his vipers' smile.

Cowards always live,
gliding on the surface,  ,
They cannot
let you know
the
truth
or
knowledge

 
of sorrows purpose,
dark and so alone.
That without it's spiteful arrows,
true joy could not be known.

Beautiful in all of its sadness. Your rhyming is perfect and has reached a level of delightful simplicity.

does this describe the poets that you read? I was satisfied at the end of "with his viper's smile". Your stfuff is fun to read I am sending a friend request. Please read my stuff before you accept- as I do not want to bore you or waste your time. hanna

yes to your question. as far as reading before accepting-not my way.Waste my time? Unheard of in my mantra.Bore me? Only I can create boredom if I let my eyes and ears close. I wish to thank you for all your thoughtful comments.I can tell already that you a woman of insight and a person with soulvision.

I agree with FoF. This flows so nicely and then the meter is buggered up and distracts the reading. I like the content though. Nice. Thanks!

3rd verse a bit rough - remember possessives (vipers')(sorrows')plural or possesive The second verse blew me away.
