Truth

If you dare to speak it all the time, you have won back your life

What lies beneath your words

are merely symptoms of 'Phony lies'

swear to God 

you hate your voice subconsciously...

What curls your straight life

are moments of 'Luxurious lies'

stand on a point (.)

and witness the chaos inside your cells..

Bereft of supreme virtues

without love without respect

you are a home to 'treacherous lies'

to realize

burn bricks of unrecognized walls..

Inside you, yes

there resides a tiny universe

the body of which

was killed, the soul of which

of course survives

Inside you, yes

there resides a tiny universe

all-pervading in its spirit

and known as 'truth'

Truth is a debatable prospect. My truth might not fit in your idea of the same. Its the universal truth we all should seek and not anywhere else but within us. That's where the absolute resides.

Beautiful song of retrospect and finding oneself.
Kudos Gaurav!

strong concept! one man's truth is another's lie.. memory and perspective can always fog up what truth really is, however there are always those types who know in advance the lies they are spouting.. well written piece my friend.

Gaurav, This is a solid piece with the eternal struggle between lies and truth illustrated profoundly. Your word play highlights your skillfulness and harmony with the written word. You weave, in this piece, a compelling tale using elements of reality and fantasy, and in doing so you blend the two states of mind in such a pleasing way. An outstanding piece!! take care...dan
