A WEB


A WEB
Each day we spin a web.
A web of lies.
White lies.
Fake smiles.
Untrue feelings.
Keep spinning.
Until it ties you up
Into one tight knot.

THE WEB


web 2

Each day we spin a web.
A web of lies.
White lies.
Deadly lies.
Fake smiles.
Untrue feelings.
Keep spinning.
Until it ties you up
Into one tight knot.

A HOUSE OF CARDS



A house of ice.
So very nice.
But it’s still unstable.
Like a shaky table.
Once the sun shows its hot face.
The house is a melted place.
Such can be a  house built on lies.
Useful as a horse catching flies. 
Once the lies are unsealed.
House of cards is revealed.
A house’s foundation must ring true.
It must be built to be strong & true.

A QUIET SPOT FOR YOUR IMAGINATION

A QUIET SPOT



In a quiet spot.
On a soft chair.
In the sun’s spotlight.
I will read a book.
Eyes wide open.
Mind set to explore.
Sunlight streaming in.
I will read a book.
Hands trembling.
Tears falling.
Sun warming my body.
I will read a book.

CARRY ON


Hit me.
Strike me.
I will carry on.
Soak me.
Shake me.
I will carry on.
Sink me.
Drown me.
I’ll still be here.

TRAPS

“Spider Engineers” (1956)

Traps to set.
We set for ourselves.
With lies and deceit.
And so much to hide.

WEB OF LIES






Have you ever been caught
in a web of your own deceit?
A web of lies that kept growing.
One lie leading to the next.
So much easier to be truthful.
No lies to remember.
Easier on your brain and on others.
Stick to the truth.
Or be stuck in your own web.

A HOUSE OF ICE

A HOUSE OF ICE



A house of ice,
built from solid blocks of ice
is unstable.
It is only temporary.
Once the sun comes out,
the bricks melt,
the house falls.
Like a house of lies.
Once the lies are uncovered,
the house collapses on itself.
A house’s foundation
must be built to be strong & true.

WEB OF LIES



Have you ever been caught
in a web of your own deceit?
A web of lies that grew
out of control.
One lie leading to the next.
So much easier to be truthful.
No lies to remember.
Easier on your brain and on others.
Stick to the truth or
be stuck in your own web.

STUCK IN YOU OWN WEB



Have you ever been caught
in a web of your own deceit?
A web of lies that grew and grew
out of control.
One lie leading to the next.
So much easier to be truthful.
No lies to remember.
Easier on your brain and on others.
Stick to the truth or
be stuck in your own web.

WEB OF LIES AND DECEIT



You’re caught in a web.
A web of lies and deceit.
Once you begin to lie,
the lies multiply until you’re in so deep
that you can’t extricate yourself.
Being honest is much easier and simpler.
