Of Lies Promises And Prayers... Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

Of Lies Promises And Prayers...



Lies...

With in makeshift masks
On multicolored face false
Lies a rueful grin

Promises...

Promises hot made
Turn to blocks cold hard to break
Fulfilled melt as ice

Prayers...

Between mind and lips
A cup of unfulfilled wants
Spills bitter and sweet

Three different situations are packed in one short poem, with contradictions like bitter-sweet, hot-cold and so on. A nice work.

Your words pegged each of your titles very well. Your defining of lies, promises and prayers are greater than what the dictionary could label them as. Very nicely done.
