Truth Afflicted

The dark side of living...brutal honesty exists.

Truth Afflicted


Drink in my life
Release my inner strife
Tame my angered spirit
Soothe my aging life

Feelings are so fragile
A word can be a scythe
Slash a blade of truth
Afflict a sense of flight

Share in my agony
Embrace an ego spent
Cross the last, vast darkland
In which my soul pays rent

Shadows bring to light
A slower moment sent
Memories weep in harmony
Striking chords of repent

Blue wonders travel forward
Enveloping my mind
Agate swirls of water
Stands the test of time
