We slide into a thousand failing pretences,
Our carefully moulded masks of lingering cheer.
And when we meet we will not talk of troubles:
Our easy words will flit, moth-like and carelessly
From trifling tails to paltry parody
And then perhaps entirely disappear
As the heady feel of your longing touch
Compromises language?s integrity

And in silence, jest, or delicate embrace
The swarms of urgent uncertainties
Are swept away by convenience.

Through denial of quarrel or discord
These pretences of happiness remain.
Or are those pestering wasps so easily ignored
Because their consequence is shadowed
By the resolve of our own tenacious feelings for each other
 
We slide into a thousand failing pretences,
Our carefully moulded masks of lingering cheer.
And when we meet we will not talk of troubles:
Our easy words will flit, moth-like and carelessly


love the style of this skeek..some great lines your weaving
 
wow Skeek, that really spoke to me, this is a beautiful poem. you nailed that emotion...

your use of words is very cool too, I'm a freak about wanting varied vocabulary in poetry for some reason.
