THE TATOO THAT APPEARS WHEN YOU TELL YOUR FIRST LIE

in Freewriters8 days ago

The tattoo that appears when you tell your first lie.
A green goon marking with black splatters.
The devil's horn symbols are seen at the end.
Not visible to all, except the sensitive ones.

It smells like that of a beautiful flower,
creating all sense of beautiful pastries.
Driving your thoughts to summer.
But when you decide to smell what's beneath, you find it's all rotten.

Its ugliness is hidden behind those cute eyes, leaving a sense of truth.
But what's beneath is a dark void.
A lie in plain black.

Thanks for viewing

That tattoo sounds interesting. I wonder what it looks like if lie after lie is told, or will only an overwhelming smell be present?
A beautiful flower does grow on smelly soil filled with corpses and the pastries you describe, if they are filled with meat it's from a dead body, something like in Sweeney Todd.

Is it ugliness if there is a sense of truth? I wonder what happened with Pinocchio's nose.

I love your poem! It's awesome.

A great, creative weekend, with or without a lie that inspires you.

The ugly smell keeps growing, and might get noticeable. The beautiful also grows but slower than it ugliness.

If there's a sense of truth, the flower grows from a great source but if it's surrounded by lies, it's just as good as rotten
I'm glad you liked it🥰

I like the word choice and your comment a lot. It sounds as if what's born out of what's rotten remains rotten no matter how great the smell was (for a very short time).

That's an interesting way to put it, I agree, it highlights the lasting impact.
