Of Truth and Love

merciful is who is tender, love abounds
wise is he if love in truth he speaks 
beautiful is who finds love profound
lies inborn, mendacity, havoc reeks

truth is love
therefore:
love is truth 

reeks havoc, mendacity, inborn lies 
profound love finds who is beautiful
speaks he truth in love if he is wise
abounds love, tender is who is merciful
