Shades of Truth

Confab With Me

You are searching for the absolute truth
relentlessly trying to find why he parted ways?
and when you are unable to find the reasons you take a self-exile hiding in a shell

You portray the vivid imagery of a lost soul,
running helter-skelter without much respite,
you remain in self-denial,
blaming your thoughts for the vacuum
that has unceremoniously shadowed your face

And regardless of what the world says,
you are adamant to reveal the bitter truth,
but you’re naive,
for the truth is always a perspective
hidden between different shades of gray

  1. Wow👌👌
    truth is always a perspective
    hidden between different 
    shades of gray

  2. Beautiful poem! “You portray the vivid imagery of a lost soul.” How decadent.
    I can’t say more because the poem contain the phrase: “shades of gray” although you do not specify how many 🙂
    I am joking, I hope you know. I love this piece, Shantanu!

  3. This poem is actually quite poignant to me. Without bringing up a new blogger that has just started following me, your words match the description of “Many Shades of Gray” – It wasn’t until today did I realize I might have to part ways.
    It’s sort of funny too because I read a piece by “Poetry From The Inkwell” that set off the same type of alarms inside me.
    Excellent writing as always, and I’m very moved by the words and feelings that it evoked. Thank you. 😊

  4. No, I should be thanking you. You and Inky’s words have really made me think quite a bit over something you both wrote. I truly appreciate both of you bringing that kind of light to me.
    Hope you have a pleasant evening. God Bless. 😊

  5. sadiyon se satya ki khoj jaari hai…..ham jitna jaante hain….janne ki utsukta badhti jaati hai…..ham ant tak nahin jaante wastwiktaa satya ki.

  6. Always pleasure to stop by, thank you do much for reading my blog, it means the world to me🤗

  7. Everything exists within you.The light of truth can definitely dim the shades of grey which definitely isn’t at all easy to do☺
