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

Sups,
A lovely poem this... The lies we all tell, is it ego that makes us lie, or to save us from getting further hurt? What ever the reason for our lies, it cannot erase the truth can it?
Some how just totally identified with the following lines...
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

Hullo Supriya
What's amiss, 241 views and only 6 comments? Not very Supriya like? Evidently, such simple and straight forward stuff does not go with your reputation at Sulekha.
When love gets tempered by discretion it takes a quantum leap into the realm of compassion, mankind's greatest need today. Broaden your canvas and dwell on that theme, if you think it fit.
Sceptic
