TRAVAILS OF TRUTH Like a blast from a referee’s whistle Emerged the unbridled truth, Clear, cold, hard With taste Like a bitter pill Smell Like the still water A stark dullness, Like a mumble From uncertain mind I ducked from boring truth Longing For the beautiful lie Spewed From the crafty tongue Clothed in Fantasy, And a promise Of happy ending I seek the truth! But preferred the lie For the promise of fantasy Of love, and Happy ending Is sweeter Than The common truth |

@ Poster: 'I seek the truth! But preferred the lie For the promise of fantasy Of love, and Happy ending Is sweeter Than The common truth ' paradoxical isn't it. So you are saying the 'happy ending' is not realisitc? Nice stuff though |

Thanks Magz, and Myne. @ boraz, some poems bore. but just try to get the jist. @ pcicero, Thanks, I suppose 'happy ending' feature more in fairy tales. In real life, its tough. Thanks again. |
