Do You Lie?
lying
is not always
a lie
‘though the word remains a lie.
ah, believe
me,
my dear!
i love you! yo ti amo!
je t’aime! s’agapo!
ya tivya luvlyou! yah habibe!
ay-ayaten ka! mahal kita!
in whatever tongue
you hear me say, it’s all the same
and I would not take away
that smile, from you.
you are the half
that lights me in this life, the
diamond shines, forever—
without lies!
