The Truth is...
I lie
Most times to you
And at all times to me
And I know I see
And I know you see
How two lying eyes
Can never make us believe
That there isn’t some spark
That makes me come alive
Even when you have never been at my side
Unspeakable, this crime of the heart
Staying within me like a venom
Waking me up with a start
Madness, such sweet extreme
Ruining my sense of discretion;
You think I can ever weed you out?
Just look at me once, and make me doubt
In everything that I choose
To strike out my wayward muse
From my bones and my breath;
Longing for your just one kiss
I kiss you full and I catch my death
Truth is...
I have made peace
In loving you
And I have sought a redeeming grace
In searching for me in the lines on your face
And blotting you on the tip of my fingers;
I have called you, love
In distant memories I found your traces
Some benign dilemma;
Truth is...
You’re enough

Returned here after a very long time (guess I ran after reading one of your posts which was like what I wanted to write in my journal, that was weird!).
Beautiful poem, makes me sad. If I could write as beautifully as you do, I would have written this last year, sigh

Supriya,
Beautiful! Simple and evocative, touched a chord deep within me.
I enjoy your love poems because each one expressed a different mood. This one is all tenderness and acceptance.
I hope the next book that Sulekha publishes will be a collection of your poems.
All the best!
Sue
