Lies

Words

That drip

Like acid

From my tongue

Lies

That fill      

     The holes                 

In my truth                              

 

 

Graceful dancer

On my lips

 

Do you really believe

The things I say?

I liked the design and how this poem described how a lie seemed like. I also liked the end how it was poesed in a question "Do you really believe the things I say?"

Nice set-up of the poem. Led the reader to a interesting ending. Hard to believe a liar. Thank you for the excellent poem.

This one is going in my Library as a favorite! I like the look of the poem, I like the words chosen, and the simplicity. It's simple~ yet not. Very well done :-)

Like this too ( I`ve read a lot of good poems today ), clever concrete poetry that has a high lyrical content - quality poem.

[Tai Ryens]

Such is the way of the apathetic luster; unrequited love but a shared desire for lust. "Sweet nothing's," as modern-day people refer to, is quite a common topic, but I haven't seen it portrayed in the way you use it. Or maybe I have; but however overdisplayed it may be, I seldom see, as you put it, "a graceful dancer on my lips," and a hunger for lust associated together as you have done so.
