Sunlight and Shadows


Truth

I sense your lies

I smell them like a rotten fish

That clouds the whole fresh sun-washed shore

I hear the clanging siren noise

Above the routine traffic roar

I taste their tang of rancid fare

Disguised by gaudy sugar sweet

I see the cracks you cannot hide

Where broken bits of glued glass meet

I feel the pricks of talon claws

You are already sinking in

And I can sense beyond a doubt

That this is where the traps begin

But you don’t know that now I know

You cannot lead me down that road

I sense your lies
