In the heart of a soldier

Who guards our freedom

A dear little old lady named Ruth

Has a terrible time telling truths

Always getting in trouble

On Thursday’s, it’s double

Maybe from too much vermouth

Iridescent Truths ~ #poetry #NovemberWriting

No matter the angle in which we view

Seems it’s always changing before us

They claim what you see is normalcy

No reason to cause such a fuss

Multicolored phrases

Catch on the tips of tongues

How can we believe the words?

When the truths become undone

Seems simple to tell the story

When the lies come too quickly to mind

Not so, when you try to remember them

Who you are is now clearly defined

How easy it is to burst that bubble

When it’s made only of water and soap

Much easier to tell the truth, my friend

Much harder to shorten the rope

Friday Fantasy ~ Conceal

Mysterious eyes of icy blue

Hide the lies that once were true

Shrouded behind her feathered masque

Afraid that she’ll be brought to task

For what she did so long ago

No, what she did, they cannot know

Nor who she was before that day

When the fire left her, went away

And turned her heart as cold as rime

Sealing memories, lost in time

Frozen, she can no longer feel

A hardened heart, she must conceal
