you leave me dumbfounded
yes manning all the way
years pass, I’m grounded
youth to greys, decades float away
or have I lost my head as they say
overreact to perceived sophistry
oxygenate ethics, revive the play
obstructing me – your chicanery
realms of stories fall apart
react to untruths, I sure do
rumors abound, paint me dark
reconcile with lies, I won’t do

Powerful. Excellent take. What a tough (not for you) form of poetry.

Thanks! The form of poetry is not tough. It’s the complex expression of inescapable battles that torment us.

A unique form. Your verse compliments the image.
Having to use those 2nd letters of verses created challenges.
I like what you did. I ended up with hard letters too (well I thought so, but I made them work.) 😀
