Poetry is something I have always meant to have a crack at, but have never really given a go. I normally write short stories and flash fiction, but I have realised that this is a completely different kettle of fish.
This is my first 15 minute attempt, thank you in advance for having a look.
note: if this is in the wrong section, I apologise, but I know nothing of poetry really, and didn't know where this one would lie?
Downfall.
The fiction on your lips,
manipulates the illusion it creates,
contradiction blinds all it translates,
your legitimacy is curved candidly.
Behind your smile pierced deceit.
Like Icarus though,
you flew too close to the sun,
your fall from grace,
fitting in this place,
and it was all i could do,
to conceal,
the excitement on my face.
