Best Truthful Poems


Premium Member A Truthful Mirror

I reflect the truth, yet you see a lie
I'm just a humble mirror, I wonder why
I love the shape, of your beautiful face
Why when you look, do you feel such disgrace?

The curve of your breasts, a delightful sight
You see them as misshapen and not quite right
The clothes you try on, somehow trick your mind
When you think you are fat, I think you're quite blind

If I were magic, I'd help you to see
All that is true, when you look into me
Upon reflection, you'd be satisfied
You'd marvel and feel, a measure of pride

For no other women, can compare to you
So uniquely splendid, please see what is true
The sum of your parts, breathtaking and whole
A subtle confidence, bubbling up from your soul

My true pleasure, is witnessing your smile
For you are a woman, with beauty and style
No need to be afraid, when you look into me
Look beyond your fears and see what I see.

Aquarius: a Truthful Image

Rebellious and independent,
a strong mind driven by intent;
see a face never mistrusted,
hear sincere words well-expressed...
no detail is insignificant.

Kant Always Be Truthful

To lie’s always wrong, Kant decreed.
Very few were convinced by his screed,
   Seeing if he’d instead
   Held a gun to their head,
They’d have shamelessly said they agreed.

A Truthful Friend

If truth became a priceless gem,
Then truthful so some may pretend.
To search upon hoping just then
It can't be lost in a true friend.

Brenda Elizabeth Rose

Capture My Heart Living So Far Apart

You captured my heart a world apart 
I must say with every new passing day
My thoughts in dismay
I want you here with me
That sets our spirits free
Why can't all those men just let you be

Dear our time is very near
I want to make all of this clear
My promise to you is sincere
In no way should you ever fear
If I'm being honest with you
Or if I will treat you right
I got your back and I don't like to fight
I worry about your day and night  
That my love is too far out of sight
 
My mind always off in some distant place
Your such a beautiful girl
A minority among your race
I know this is hard for you to shake
I can only imagine the look on your face
How you have always wanted to disappear without a trace
Out in public always having to hide your face
Never making eye contact
In fear they might give chase

They never understand you wanted nothing 
To do with that place
Our love is so strong
It seems like this whole thing is taking too long
I would never let you down or steer you wrong 
Hope you know I think about you
All the times I hear a love song
We must prepare not live in dispare
Must not waste any more time
Because having to wait is so unfair

We need to play this smart
Trusting in God who played such a big part
All of this time has an effect on our hearts
I don't want any of this to go bad
It's easy to be sad because we are so far away 
I have to say I can't do this blind
You have to know it all messes with my mind

You must find a way to except I would never betray
Your love in any way
Our bond will last forever 
If we work together 
Our love will grow
Big enough to fill up a room
Trust me and together we will agree
There is never going to be
A love like ours for us to see

You mean so much with that special touch
You're my queen for I have never seen
Anyone that has been so truthful and honest in every way
I love you more with every passing day
Soon you will be my wife
Nothing can come between us or tear our love apart
Baby this is for real and how we will spend the rest of our life

Truthful Drug

Truth
Sometimes
Is a 
bitter pill
To swallow

But after
Absorbing

It has the
Power

To reach
The heart
of healing

Truthful Words Echo

Your truthful words still echo ...   ...   ...
Within my hollow    h e a r t
Like a bear within a |c|a|g|e|
As it is t o   r    n       a   p  a r t

All the little pieces sca t   t   e    r    like shadows from the light.

A host of silent sentinels
With nothing left to guard
Yet the [doors] are locked
And all the windows b-a-r-r-e-d

Affirming my suspicion that you, in fact, were right. 

In my soul's deepest
                                      cellar
A place I rarely tread
I buried in a shallow grave 
That thing I thought was d_e_a_d

                                                                  gone
I thought I would be safe then with it           from my sight.

But now if I walk by the [door]
Or if I glance inside to check
The black tendrils ~~ of regret ~~~~~
become a noose around my (neck)

As if by wicked vagabonds,  I'm dragged 
                                                                 back into
                                                                                 the night.

Premium Member The World Became Truthful

The world became truthful
in July last year,
and lies were not to be tolerated... 

The world became honest
at five past three
and we all stood up to clap and note it.

The world was tense
as it marked the change
and quizzical faces walked the stage.

(Playwrights were dumb
at the change of heart 
and thumbed down a bit
at dumbed-down parts.)

We were all perplexed
at how it would be,
but it was all a lie at ten past three.

Premium Member Truthful Lips Endure Forever - Proverbs 12: 19-22, Hebrews 4: 13

Your lips are made for truth
especially from God's holy word
but lies last only a moment
leaving sin to leave us stirred

Beware of evildoers in their ways
they are those filled with deceit
learn from the joyful souls
who bring peace to all they meet

The righteous suffer no spiritual ill
for the Lord loves to bless their faith
trouble follows the wicked to the full
to their downfall spurning God's grace

The Lord hates intensely as lying tongue
it's an abomination in HIs holy spirit
God's faithful people walk with Him
bringing glory to His pure delight

God sees every being in His sight
for they are completely naked
before the one we give an account
Jesus Christ the righteous full of light

("Truthful lips endure forever,
    but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,
    but those who plan peace have joy.
No ill befalls the righteous,
    but the wicked are filled with trouble.
Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,
    but those who act faithfully are his delight.")
Proverbs 12: 19-22 (ESV)

("And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.")
Hebrews 4: 13 (ESV)

Truthful Tendencies

trust turns to tradgety 
and you lie to me faithfully
you love me lustfully 
and abuse me forcefully
if love is a lock
then lust is the key
for love is not what all see
your face must be pretty
even though your heart is ugly
fare warning this is a humanic tradgety 
be aware of the unfair humanity
as you have now been exposed to my truthful tendencies

Madness and Mayhem: the Truthful Lie

The smile on my face? Merely a facade
the truth is written in the lies
in an artificial world we belong
the faceless man, in a suit and tie,
whispers and I hear,
that he knows why I grin from ear to ear
but he doesn't care.
So on the clock ticks, bringing us closer to oblivion.
What could I do? But travel aimlessly behind him.
He leads me to a corridor, one that I have never seen before
then he tells me to extend my hand, and open the door
inside, stands a statue made from colorful clay
with a wave of his hand, it begins to decay
rainbows drip from a face once smiling.
I realize it's the image of me residing
and with a sad and heavy heart
we thus depart
back into the world of the organized genocide
with countless bodies floating in on the tide

Account for Things and Be Truthful

Local newspaper needs a finance and poetry page.

Successful people,
Who are disliked by others,
Must account for actions.

My Americanized Horn Haiku.
Usually no caps of punctuation.

Those who want you to
Account for things you have done;
Always be truthful.

Beating around bush;
Not considering all facts,
Create big problems.

Primary factor;
What people want to hear;
Sold a bill of goods.

(Merton's Self-fulfilling Policy)

should know interest rate;
Current supply and demand;
stocks and bonds prices.

New jobs created;
Categories they are in;
Also GNP

Living in past;
Have to change requirements;
Adjust to the times.

Accumulation,
Reflecting social structure
Current and present.

A Truthful Lie

My small heart
Cannot bear so much of pain
Tablets even like dart
Cannot reduce it as it is vain

As my tears come down
From my eyes
No one comes to know them
And my smile only a lies....

Is my pain
Really that vain????
Or it’s my thinking
Which isn’t linking....

Every tear of my eyes
Gives your sweet memories and pranks
In the game of life, every dice
Have its own plans....

A coincidence of my life ever happens
It starts raining when my tear falls
As my heavy heart lightens
Then I try to keep my smile which is false....

AND AGAIN IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN....

Mystery of Truthful Life

Mystery of truthful life

One thing in life I want to say
Telling  truth ,a lot one has to  pay
One cannot go settle 
Our personal life become fatal
In every step we have to pay fine
Life look like rose full of spine
When I say for my wife a truthful line
In a minute she turns from swan to swine
one must live life with care
as it is a dreadful nightmare
words of truth one must blend with lie
in full bloom the you will enjoy
flattery with friends or foe
a lot of goodness you will grow
for  one who live with principle
those who dare to trod upon sharp sickle.
