Tales from the mind of Kristian
Visit the darkest crevices of my mind, dare to tread where many fear to go. You may find something interesting or you may find a mirror to your soul.
This Limerick was written for Sadje’s What do you See Challenge.

What do you see # 36 – 29 June 2020
The camera, they say never lies
But so often it seems to disguise
the model’s face and its flaws
a bold nose or weak jaws
so the truth never reaches the eyes.

You may say we are identical
But don’t believe your eyes
One of us is honest
Whilst the other one tells lies
It is hard to tell the difference
But when you’ve known us for a while,
One will drive you to despair
The other will make you smile.
One is full of bounding energy
One is lacklustre and sedate
You probably won’t know which of us you’re with,
Until it’s far too late.
From one, you’ll want to run away
And require some respite,
The other one will make your day
And that is all despite
the fact we look the same
but it’s a very good disguise,
but can you believe a word I say?
I could be telling lies.

JP the Wide eyed Wanderer has tagged me for this challenge. See the Post here:
https://wideeyedwanderingspoonie.wordpress.com/2019/03/26/3-2-1-quote-me-challenge-truth/
I have actually, done one of these already today but I don’t want to disappoint JP who is a very supportive blogger. Also, there are a lot of great quotes about the Truth out there.
“The Truth is out there, but there’s no point in looking for it anywhere near any politician.” – Kristian Fogarty
“There’s a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.”

I won’t be tagging anyone this time, but if you are reading this and want to have a go, please be my guest.
So that Grand Master of the blogosphere (If you don’t believe me, go check out his blog. Would I Lie to you?), A Guy Called Bloke, has tagged me in one of his 321 Quote Challenges, this one about Truth.
Click below to see his post:
Thanks again Mr. Bloke. 🙂
Who’s real name was Eric Blair and not George Orwell, way to go at telling the truth, Eric! (Only kidding).
2. “Telling lies, that’s teachable, telling the truth is unimpeachable. People usually lie because they perceive the risk to be less than telling the truth.”
You can quote me on that. 🙂

In my fragile mind,
You’ve sown the seeds of doubt,
With motives, unkind
You water them with lies,
Until they sprout.
At first, I fell asunder,
Under your hateful spell,
But now my heart rises up,
Intrepid, ready to break out.
I’ve laid eggs of hope,
A clutch, immune
You cannot touch.
And soon they’ll hatch,
Disrupt, despatch
Your hateful lies,
I’ll watch your doubtful seeds
Diminish,
And rejoice in your
demise.

At their very core
most lies that are told have a
Nucleus of truth.

Word Prompt: Hard Truth
Better hard truths than soft lies.
Or
Maintaining a lie is the hardest.
I sit beneath the trees of green
the cool dark shade beneath the leaves
and think of all that I have seen.
The blissful joy of loves new dream
Like a magic spell the heart weaves
I sit beneath the trees of green.
I ponder what life could have been
before lying satin tongue’s deceive
I think of all that I have seen.
The tears have washed my body clean
but still a while my heart grieves.
I sit beneath the trees of green.
Could I have known the unforeseen?
the heart denies what eyes perceive
I think of all that I have seen.
Asleep I slide on satin dreams
what lies the heart and mind believes
as I sit beneath the trees of green
and think of all my eyes have seen.
