Where white lies become black truths

Trenz Pruca

 

Where white lies become black truths,
Awareness justification
For keeping away the darkness.
I reveled in the adventure of discovery.

 

You have no idea what it’s cost me.

 

Like a starving corpse-vulture
Drifting on a warm current, 
Hot eyes lined with blood 
About to let out a scream of despair.

 

I feel dark descend.

 

Where were the little beacons 
of pure joy and contentment 
That lasted for a few seconds?


 
Passed into memory.

 

Without confirmation, 
hope lingers long beyond 
The point of being useful.

 

The world is complex.

 

Right and wrong depend 
On who is viewing 
And who is viewed.

 

I have meaning.

 

Deaf, dumb, blind, and 
Crawling face down 
Through a sea of mud 
I strike something else,


 
I am not alone.

    These words were very much enjoyed..
    clearly well constructed ..
    I particularly liked the narrative approach which often works for me .. Neville ..
