Plots and schemes
Nefarious dreams
Ace up sleeve
Poised to leave
False faced friend
Truth suspends
Melodrama
If you harm her
One way out
Moment’s doubt
Draw your gun
It’s begun
One left standing
So demanding
Truth re-framed
It’s just a game

This reminds me of A Game of Thrones with all the plots and scheming. Though, I fear my mind’s biases lean toward that association inevitably. Regardless, well done!

Thank you…I hadn’t thought about a western background but I can see what you mean…ah, the layers of writing, eh?? 🙂

Having just listened to some music by Ennio Morricone, the drawing the gun bit made me think of “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly”, lol. Which thinking about it can describe Truth quite well. Great Poem Helen!

Short and sweet, Helen, but gooood! Nothing like having symbolism used in poetry to express one’s feelings in a cryptic way! 🙂
Very true 🙂 Thanks so much!! 🙂
