Sandcastle Of Lies

Sandcastle Of Lies

A melody of soothing notes

Its symphony tunes with your heart vibrations 

Infusion of elaborated deception and sweet sounding words 

The ones who prepare this poison have no respect for you

Lies 

Words dressed in glamorous clothes

Elating your spirit 

Crafting false hopes

A sandcastle cannot withstand the ocean waves

Nor can a relation built on lies 

The ground will tremble and shatter your trust

Your heart engraved with memorable scars 

To deluders you are not worth the truth

Would someone who sincerely cared summon insolence to disrespect you?

Lies 

Hurt the psyche

Crash the heart

Kill the trust

Why lie?

Yes indeed, though hindsight is a wonderful thing as the saying goes, better to test the water a few times before diving in head first!

A perfect, poetic, perusal on perfidious people, a quality write indeed !!

My sentiments exactly. Truth is everything. It's hard to pin that down, though, many people love to live in grey shadows, and call that: truth. A great deal of wisdom here, all of which feels true and right but one verse popped out and threw its arms around me: "A sandcastle cannot withstand the ocean waves/
Nor can a relation built on lies" ...

I've heard other versions of this metaphor before but this was clear, and crisp. But it was your finale that slew me, I think. Those last 7 verses came down on those who have no respect for truth like a forged magical sword, on not only the Dragon of lies, but also the deluder/con man/ –– woman, riding on its back.

Well done, and a rare,
but beautiful philosophy.

Nicely put… yep those words are cheap when they don't have the actions to finance them

Thanks so much Jacob, I appreciate your comment very much.

[SPINNING ON that dizzy ..]

This is very profound - in your word choice and their deep meaning. The poem itself is visually appealing. I have been on this Earth a while and there is little worse than being lied to. There is never any good in it and it does always seem to be discovered. We can soften a blow or we can not tell the whole truth but a lie is hurtful "words dressed in glamorous clothes" very good write :)
