Living Lies

[Taika of Narfell]

This was spawned randomly during Literature class - this is what happens when I look out the window for just a moment. I didn't even have to think all that much, it simply came to me - rhymes and all, and in sonnet form too



Living Lies


The clouds rest lightly on the wind
And float across the sky
The cold and des’late grayish tint
Reflects the dreadful lie
The lie that used to be my life
But now has been unveiled
The terror, sadness, guilt, and strife
That always with me sailed
Sailed from the place from whence I hail
And furthest from that point
Now in success or if I fail
Our journey still is joined
Though life can bring both joy and happiness
The lies will follow too – no more, no less

Really nice, Jem. I like when poem has rhymes, but I love sonnets.

As for the words simply coming to you, a great feeling, isn't it?

I also love sonnets. Great piece Jem. It's great when the inspiration suddenly just raises its head and gives you the whole lot, isn't it! I wish it would raise its head in my direction occasionally.
