Color of Truth

Shall I tell a lie that seeps into the waters of your soul

To enhance the day you see inside your mind

If only for a brief moment should I make you feel

Like the prize inside a Crackerjack box

Everyone wants to find

Should I say you are the eighth wonder of the world

You should sit in council on golden floors

Right beside the gods drinking nectar from above

Or would you rather me color in truth

Outside lines you adore

If the honest color of truth is what you really seek

Take a look through these eyes of mine

You can see the brightest star, shining in my sky

Even through the clouds and haze

Ever so brightly defined

You will see the truth and have no need of lies

My star is never dim in less light

You will know I love you in your imperfection

That you are the brightest star

In my heart’s skies

Another artistic gem, Neva. Surely, in all our hearts we wish to hear the truth that we are wanted and loved...not toys to be hyperbolized in false words that build our ego for a painful fall. Truth is the great emancipator for heart's freedom to luxuriate in the bliss of love.

Excellent writing, sweet Neva.

Imperfection is the truth of us isn it and the endearment of us as well

I loved the following writing:
Or would you rather me color in truth
Outside lines you adore

To love someone with every imperfection, you described this so perfectly!
Your analogies in your poetry never cease to amaze me!

I love the metaphors - and the notion of colouring outside of the lines - as it being truth rather than painting the world in colours and embedding it with gold - the second stanza I particularly enjoyed! the gods above!! nice!
