in truths | Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

the passing poem in the night
the boundary of three seas
and I’m no longer me

I have loved you in every verse
that is
not mine

to be kind
the words of lies
in truths denied.

Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm, the blogger, poet, and translator, was born in 1971 in Phu Nhuan, Saigon, Vietnam. The pharmacist currently lives and works in Western Sydney, Australia.

      Yes, poetry is the best kind of deception and yet it is also the only way the truth is revealed. 🙂
