A girl discovers the lie being told,
In a sudden blink of an eye, a lie,
She did not know she was being lied to
They told her at one o’clock in the morn.
She found it, and could not believe what was,
Right in front of her eyes, a big terrible
Lie! What it was, there was no doubt about,
More than a week later, they have forgotten.
The lie, his name, she loved everything,
She loved him with everything she had.
He has given her everything she wants,
And has loved her, with every ounce of love,
A million times, till death do them apart,
She may find this again, in their life.
In other words, she would not want to know
Anything about anymore lies,
She does not ever want to know about it,
Wishing it would all just disappear fast.
Like a river moving down stream fastly,
But on the other hand she wanted to.
Now if she would ever be told a lie
Again, she could not bear the hurt it gave.
She finally had accepted the lie,
An affair he was having that hurt so
Much, she tried forgetting about it all.
But it kept coming back in her thoughts.
She had to forget about everything,
And be strong for her to keep going.
Assuming there is such a big lie,
She will have the strength not to cry.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Poem of the Day: The Secret
by Denise Levertov
Two girls discover
the secret of life
in a sudden line of
poetry.
I who don’t know the
secret wrote
the line. They
told me
(through a third person)
they had found it
but not what it was
not even
what line it was. No doubt
by now, more than a week
later, they have forgotten
the secret,
the line, the name of
the poem. I love them
for finding what
I can’t find,
and for loving me
for the line I wrote,
and for forgetting it
so that
a thousand times, till death
finds them, they may
discover it again, in other
lines
in other
happenings. And for
wanting to know it,
for
assuming there is
such a secret, yes,
for that
most of all.
