pictures make great liars By Christiana Sasa

framed attempt 

to make things appear

perfect on the surface


refined sunlight 

falls on faces

contrasting charred reality


glossy dreams

suffocated and strangled


ancient tales

written in blood and

unheard screams

only to be buried under the carpet


nothing looks prettier

than a smile

determined to lie






Christiana Sasa has been writing poetry for about four years. Her work has been published in the literary magazines Poetry Life and Times, Literary Heist, Eskimo Pie, Rye Whiskey Review etc. and in two E-zines called Dark Poetry Society and RavenCage.

Besides poetry, she's interested in painting, music, short films, and comedy.
