Half Truth
The truth is a wonderful thing
And simple truths abound
But in a life with shades of grey
There’s one thing I have found

The truth I tell is the one I know
The half truth of my mind
Half again in my expression
Myself my friends will never find

Read my poems; They lie less than I
But they twist their explanations
Which just then goes to show
Of lifes many confutions

I am a man who feels true joy
And that there is the truth
I know a friend who knows to laugh
And that to is truth

But true joy masks true sorrow
A paradox for sure
Laughter true can be unfelt
And peace be marred by love

When I look into your eyes
Do I see the light of years?
Or only of a moment?
A joke on willing ears

This is all that there is
For us mortals bound
A game with pieces never seen
While words fly round and round

Now I tell another lie
A half truth will deceive
Although of that my intentions
Never could conceive

The truth is a wonderful thing
And simple truths abound
But in my life with shades of grey
This is all I’ve found
