Dictionary of lies


A kind surprising metaphor

Used to induce a smile or a false hope

Not true, not cruel

Yet, at the end,

It vanishes, it melts…

A vague vow of love:

When an ink dot approaches

the Caspian Sea.

Not sincere, not clear

Words’ knitting,

Illusions fitting…

It’s not what it was,

Disappointment or doubts?

An eternal trap in one self’s proclaimed insight

Ending in a grave dream loss…

And here it comes,

The dreadful,

Autumn’s wind sweeping all

What was life’s point of living:

That hole in time’s wall

that pause from all other kinds and ways of deception,

turns out to be fiction

Only then, two hearts are crushed by one reality…

Final entry:

“Confession”:

Kind of redemption

Example?

This dictionary is a lie,

full of invalid entries,

about love it was,

not lies.
