Crystal ClearA Poem by MirrorThin Line Between Hypocrisy and Diplomacy. Balancing Honesty.A calm water Like a mirror it reflects Your face, unperturbed And that deep fear to touch it Just in case it ripples And makes your face look ugly The crystal ball Look into it and see the hall There hung all the portrait of lies That only breaks the crystal hearts For only the eyes can share What Crystal ball concedes Silence, they say it is golden Even when the grave is its symbol Slow torture, slow death When honesty is overrated Things left unsaid To let the sleeping dog lie Don't venture into smoke You may start a fire Don't slay the pigeon You may kill your child Please die honorably Because a kiss is meant for a coward Look the other way until.... The finger in your mouth find teeth The silence walks into your dream Like a hunter, it haunts your heart It makes your water stagnant and dull You hold the crystal ball And shakes it till your peace you find Deep there.... No more silence.
