Best Life Truth Poems

That tiny pause to skirt the truth, half-reals you'd paraphrase,
The subtle softly spinning gyre of cunning in your gaze,
Vague reflections from your skin - a shedding, sheltering plaque,
All concerned syllables sent swiftly bouncing off your back. 

Ever adrift on fiction's lost sea, never blown to...

It takes its stand the moment we are born;
first breath of life invites its rival, death,
to hand in hand walk on a path that leads,
without exception, to life's certain end.

The cloud of death does shadow all of us
until it strikes...obscure, the why or when. 
Expected,...

I saw a butterfly in the sky
                          from a memory a tear came to my eye

Sonnet Doubles:

First sonnet

Let Truth Burn Away Your Deceptive Cloak

Let truth burn away your deceptive cloak
lower vanity's shield, go have a smoke,
even if, a diamond, in love's gold crown
life shows greater rise, after falling down!

In vanity's false, self-proclaimed state
live many victims of their own dark hate,
darkness,...

I’m feral like a fox
misplaced in the
maroon mists 
of wilderness,
only found in 
woeful woodland. 
My skin is blanketed
in crimson balmy
hyacinth feathers
from a 
forsaken rainforest. 

Misguided on 
delusional paths, 
where spring-tides 
mirror liquified colors
of warm diamond tears 
I’ve suppressed
behind ice blue sighs.

And I’ve seen
splintered petals
beneath thick-leaved
jewel...

Patience 
can be
a great gift. 

We should
wait patiently
as life unfolds
before us.

There are lessons
to learn and things
to experience
in life.

As we daily grow 
in wisdom,
truth and
Love.

Does life to anyone really make sense?
If it does, then I must be really 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...

"REBELS" WAS THEIR NAME

Judge not, that ye be not judged.
 Matthew 7:1-3 KJV
----------------------------------------------

Each fair familiar feature of their face  
aglows with the dim lit day's assistance, 
rests upon strong shoulders reminiscent 
of roses bloom, see their trust and proud grace. 
Before those  same...

People don't show their appreciation and quick to point out our flaws. I often think of God and what he must sometimes think of us. We murmur and complain overlooking his many blessings. I know it breaks my heart to hear...

The Bible Is The Inspired Word of God!

I heard someone say “the Bible was written by man.”
But there’s a truth I don’t think he understands.

God used man to simply be an “inspired instrument.”
This was more than some type of “experiment.”

God used many different people from...

Ah, the wistful daydreams about my lost youth! 
           Astride upon a white stallion, riding into a distant past
    I miss youth like a barren, parched desert misses pouring rain
I wish I...

What breathes into the brain 
  and sustains from some secret place a sullied heart?

The pains of faces of others for the wicked barb
  and (un) done deed to garnish a little 'peace' ---
  but to gloat in cruel cosmos ---

The ultimate process is living life.
We can learn everything through love and strife.
It’s not just the content that fills each day,
Living in the moment teaches the way.

Find your true self and learn secrets untold,
Inside is wisdom and truth to behold.
Overcoming struggles help us to grow.
Learning...

It was crazy. 
They weren't.
They just like the whole craziness.
I guess I did, too.

It was the type of crazy,
they teach you not to talk about.

The type of crazy,
you supposedly didn't know about.

The type of crazy,
 that makes you clueless as a newborn ones you hear...
