Lies of romance

sorenbarrett

A blind heart has no eyes no ears to hear kind tears 
A tongue paints alibis, dreams calm fears
Truth is soon forgotten but lies become immortal
Memory prefers thrills now rotten that flow from mouth's portal

Intuition is a condition that a few listen to
A proposition to an inhibition that out of nothingness grew
So sleep my child, soft visions will take you away
To lands of chocolate that never melts under the heat of day

        • Friendship

          The innocence of childhood and the fantasy of the Easter bunny are concepts we are taught as children. Your poem explodes with imagination in the harsh reality of life, providing the comfort of escape rooted in dreams and fantasies. It explores the complexities of perception, truth, and the power of imagination, contrasting the harsh realities of life with the soothing solace found in dreams and fantasies. The "blind heart" is a metaphor for emotional unawareness or denial. "Tongue paints alibis" suggests the act of creating false narratives. You seem to explore the contrast between truth and deception, the power of imagination, and childhood innocence. While truth may be fleeting, lies can endure, emphasizing the importance of dreams and intuition in navigating life's complexities.

                            Ah, intuition is a much needed ingredient, like rich, Belgian chocolate…sadly far too many hearts are not guided by it. Brilliant metaphor, my friend.

                                  Your message is one to decipher. Lies can become truths if told often enough. This is a philosophical take on life—history repeats itself, and people continue to be fooled by the demagoguery of crooked leaders. I hope I understood the message correctly. Thank you for sharing.

                                      I always remember Homer Simpson dreaming of the Land of Chocolate. Nice one .
