The Truth In Perspective

Language is an enigma,
Engage not in it's stigma.
For it's terminology,
Is all psychology.

For deceitful lies
Entice the cries
Of those who die
Below the sky.

Unveiling Darkness

There lies a shadow
Of darkness and despair,
A disputable foe
Filled with lost prayer.

There lies a light
Of purity and hope,
The truth to what's right
In this poem of trope.

Can you tell of the two?
If so, which one are you?

The River of Wisdom

This life is but a river
Flowing within it's meanders.
It's course is emplaced,
Though it can be defaced.
As in it may lead astray
To an awful wicked way.
Worry not my dearest,
If thou is but earnest.
For your meaning will gleam
With wholesome self-esteem.
Now paddle your canoe
With a sincere attitude.

The Gravity of Love

So intricate this life
Full of it's light.
For not all light
Shines so bright.
Shadowed in thought,
Alone they fought.
Swallowed up pride
Consuming guilt inside.
Worry not you meek,
For all we have seek.
Divine to all that can see
Past the horizon lost at sea,
Into the atmosphere,
And beyond us as beings.
For all there is,
Or was,
Or ever will be;
Will never be known
Without love be shown.

Binary Code

One's and zero's all to show,
Truth and false, don't you know?
The eutopia of life lies in truth.
Tell these wise words to the youth.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.
There's a double-edged sword you must acknowledge.

Heart:Heart

Sit down my dear friend,
Allow your heart to mend.
Let me tell you of this tale
Of what love has to entail.
Within the depths of your heart
Lies God's divinity; an holy art.
You may or may not know
Of the feelings it has to show.
A spectrum from bliss
To all the bitterness.
Within this one on one,
You'll see love has won.
For it's the way of eternity
In this life of infinity.
Now sip from the Holy Grail,
I promise, hatred will not prevail.

Hopeful Wishing

As I sit here thinking,
I have hopeful wishing.
For our future to be bright
Within the time of our light.
Not simply to just you and I,
But all above and below the sky.
For a world without greed
As it's an unnecessary need.
For a world without negativity,
But filled only with positivity.
For a world without hate,
Or is it already too late?
We will only live to tell
With the word love, I spell.
Love for the one we serve
As we live and observe.

Hope

There lies within a day;
Everything, even a way.
In your eyes be not wise,
But have faith and praise.
You'll see a new view,
One without the blue hue.
A shining light oh-so bright;
A fear without the fright.

Dream For the Infinity

I had a dream,
So wonderfully
Full of gleam.
Ever so gracefully
Did it tell to me:
Love is divinity,
Find truth in me.
Know where to start
In this life of infinity.
Deep inside the heart
You'll find tranquillity.

As Heaven As Earth

Time is immortal
Seen by a mortal,
Love is divine 
As it intertwines.
