Loneliness

Sisyphus

Over and over again

To the music we dance

Oh apathy

Dressed in pale silk

Bless this world with your misery!

I know the shadow you cast

All too well

So let others see

The suffering one experiences

When eternity is but a moment

And a fleeting heartbeat casts your hopes to the sea

I beg for sight

Won't you open my eyes

For just a moment

A moment of clarity...

A moment in which I can see

Through the gray In which I am drowning

The Deceiver

Truth be told

I must confess

To honesty

I am subject

Truth be told

I detest lies

So I shall write

Of Lie in rhyme

Truth be told

I am a lie

I add to truth

Subtract, divide

Truth be told

I speak, disguised

Deceive your heart

Beguile your eyes

Truth be told

I'm crafty; subtle

Twisting words

My quick rebuttal

Truth be told

I mix and stir

A pretense

Sugarcoating's cure

Truth be told

I hide, conceal

Distancing

From truth's reveal

Truth be told

I switch and bait

I have no love

I am of hate

Truth be told

I'm coiled around

Devouring

Myself, unknown

Truth be told

I'll no more lie

Than will I find

In peace I'll die

Truth be told

Have I deceived

In all I write

Have you believed?

Just Listen Please

The thing I want to say is you be you.

Be the person you were made to be,

for this is honest and true.

The thing I want to say is love you

before you love another.

It will make you a better sister,wife, and mother.

The thing I want to say is to trust your strength,

Trust that you can go the distance,

and your knowledge can stretch the length.

The thing I want to say is it's all about you.

It's all about the things you say

And all the things you do.

The Importance of Play Winning Entries

Thank you to everyone for participating in this Challenge (: posting, reading, reposting, hearting :) I thoroughly enjoyed each and every entry! All the writes submitted added interesting variations of perspective on the theme of Play--which is such a vital aspect of Life. (I do intend to post something of my own on this... naturally I missed my own deadline! lol!) But on this beautiful Halloween Night I'm pleased to announce the winner's and to post the corresponding readings that were promised. I hope you enjoy! I tried to experiment with layers of sound... it impeded a bit on smoothness of recitation, and I hope you won't be displeased with the unusual variations of rhythm... would have liked to try a few more takes... but alas the Midnight hour is upon us... and So:

The Winners are...
