Truth Poems | Examples of Truth Poetry

The possession of a mad man is the only terror
It started soft and slowly With only shallow things An itch or twitch or swallow But kindly not from me The walls would twist and turn at night And I’d be seeing things A pillow to hold a choir within And slowly simple things Would do more then make me mourn myself Do more then make me bleed My chest was heaving rocks and smoke Thrumming...

Premium Member Quenching The Thirst For Knowledge
As I sat thinking the other day, A flow of thoughts brought these words to say. Some were fleeting, some longer lasting, Like the evening shadows the sun was casting. Quenching my thirst for knowledge to be known, Neither rightness nor wrongness had a need to be shown. Titles and labels were thrown to the floor, As aspects and insights began...

You wait like a blind baby bluebird but mom only brings a rubber worm. Eventually the sweet droplet meets the soul's red parched beak songs are sung in hues of golden love everything bathed in...

The beginning or The end?

Beginning sang with morning light: "Come rise with me, embrace the fight. Your dreams are seeds; they’ve just been sown— Why fear the path you’ve never known?" End replied in velvet tone: "But peace is...

Premium Member To Know The Truth
Does life to anyone really make sense? Or is all of mankind, really this dense? God offers his wisdom and truth to man, Yet it still seems we seldom understand. Are we blinded by reason, and logic? Surely, it’s not genes or biologic? While meditating on things I don’t know, It came to me; the culprit is ego. Its goal is to always...

Premium Member CAT - ASTROPHIC TRUTH
A brief but deep connection As we lock eyes across the room And I have a sense of pain I feel the saddest surrender To what life does to you Over the incessantness of time I watch as she so slowly settles Muscles not so lithe in age But wide eyes still locked with mine Somehow it is a shared moment Perhaps a camaraderie that...

Premium Member A Pity
It's a pity — such a pity — That behind those eyes Lies, nothing but hazel pretty. It's a shame — a great shame — There's zilch we share In common, Remotely similar, or the same. It's a heartache — a real pain — Each other's hearts, Both lives left stained, Losing more than we thought Possible , and ever would've Gained. ....
