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

the wisdom of the creator is revealed in your poem... its not all in our mind is reflected by our actions... yet. other can predict whats the outcome...our mind speaks, our lips murmor...its not what the mind talk that the lips do...but God know before your mind think and your mouth say... the secret and wisdom of God only reserved to the giver of everything is now.....in our hand..thank you...a 10

This is so rich in visual images. The images are moreover not arbitrary, pretty or 'poetic' - they truly embody your meaning. Three paintings lie beneath the words, waiting to be realized.

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.
