Deception

Deception

A Poem by MCS
"

“A lie that is half-truth is the darkest of all lies.” ~ Alfred Tennyson

"

Huge white canvas

monochromatic palate

a soul battered by life

 

A soul without a body

a body without a soul

brush laden with emotion

 

Strokes spurred

by the need

to tell a story

 

A story

experienced by one

and all

Powerful Mary! And impressively delivered in words & canvas!
I agree, Truth-couched lies are particularly sinister.
