Every conversation
am inbuilt some lie
to check
whether my artificial
world mixes with real..

Life is, not always easy to Live.
Life is not always fun, it can be serious.
Life is, not always simple nor enjoyable.
Life is, sometime hard and trying as well.
Life is, sometimes full of pain, and struggles.
Life is, sometimes an very harsh reality.
Life is, sometimes an very Lonely existence.
But no matter what always remember this.
That no matter what , Christ is always in Control.

I wonder what he hides
behind those smiling lies
and the warm creeping blush
that shades his eyes

I wonder if he knows
that I can see

I wonder what he sees
when he looks at me
the flushed cheeks
and hesitant goodbyes
quivering lips
from wasted lies

I wonder what he sees*

The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart.
~ St. Jerome

I watch the water
beam from the sun
and that is what you call
making love
The Earth is the greatest poet I know.
I pluck at her expression
every so often
merely attempting
to translate her lyrics
into something,
just something
we can all feel and understand
