paralyzed
by a pair of lies
omission and commission
an admission of naught
knot now
ties unbound
not yet
in time to realize
the real lies bound
to what applies
when a word implies
that the heart relies
on a pair of lies

Bill Dadaalmost 17 years agoWhen it hurts so much, all you can do is laugh and play with words.
Anonymousabout 17 years agoThere is a beauty and an art to expression with few words. This is how I view poetry. You are an artist.
Wonderfully done.
Selena_Kittabout 17 years agoSuch fun word play with such a not-so-fun subject. Ah juxtaposition...
LeBrozabout 17 years agoOnly the incomparable Alessia Brio could have pulled off such a fun word play piece without it coming across as a collection of words trivialized.
McKennaalmost 18 years agoI enjoyed the way you played with words, "knot, not, naught." The rhythm of the poem and play on words reflects the jumbled emotions one feels when one discovers a lie. Very clever, well done.
