Like Lies

by Poetvoices   May 26, 2006


Lies,
Lies,
Lies,

Like a velvet rose
Soft, comforting, fake
Manufactured, colorful, man made

Like a necklace
Long, sparkling, binding
Bought quickly for beauty, could be fake, but not look that way

Like paper
Easy to see through when held to the light,
But when pressed to a surface, like when someone’s directly involved, solid and opaque.

Like profile picture
The best part is the only one seen
The lighting is chosen by the subject

Lies,
Lies,
Lies.

    Like a velvet rose

    I want to touch it

    Manufactured, colorful, man made

    I want to see it

    Easy to see through when held to the light,
    But when pressed to a surface, like when someoneâ??s directly involved, solid and opaque.

    I feel like there too many words going on in there, I think you can say it without that many words...

    like that

    These all kinda seem seperate to me and yea they connect but I think it would be cool to put some transition lines in there maybe only one line inbetween or something or maybe I'm just out of it today

    I like the overall concept of it, though something bout the three lies before and after the poem kinda bugs me, maybe you only need one or i dunno hmm

    sorry, I'm not much help today
