Always Speak The Truth
Never tell a lie, speak the truth
Don't feel shy, speak the truth
Truth is grace, with shining face
Reflects one's glory, fills personality space
Truth is love, truth seed sow
Truth is gold, glitters and glow
Success in truth lies, which touches the skies
In testimony when spoken, it gives surprise
Truth verifies and dignifies, truth testifies and horrifies
Truth magnifies and glorifies, truth surmise and beautifies
Truth is power, odors of flower
Truth is dignity, each minute each hour
Never tell a lie, speak the truth
Don't feel shy, speak the truth

The hands grabbing you tightly will never go unlock
the thoughts of losing you, liquefy the reasons of my living
my competitions of your love has strengthen
but my heart’s stamina's now much more than that of
immigrating birds, flying through thousands of miles.
I’m alive solely to cast my existence
under the shadow of your happiness.
I’ve grown to be able to see through
the little window of your inside world
even when covered with heavily painted curtains.
I’m learned just to perfect the act of treating you right
and I was born to passionately take good care of you.
The free gravitational pull from the gigantic water fall
dignifies pleasure to combat risk, hands down.
Sitting on the already moving roller coaster
despite being dynamic on uniquely thin ropes,
create risky uncertainties, galvanizing the enjoyment.
Such is the power of your love, scanned out of your heart.
A soul I’ve found, a heart I’ve captured
and such a lovely body I’ve personally trade-marked
confined into one being is a treasure I will never let go.

We lie
We shy,
We fight
We cry,
We vary
We envy,
We love
We sacrify,
Innumerous ways to unite.
A spirit which dignifies
Above all highs,
Lies an INDIAN inside.

The truth is beyond what our
eyes can amount to
The truth is Real
The truth is Odd
The truth can Heal but can't be
bought.
The truth is Beauty
The truth is Solid
The truth Will stand when all
else falls.
The truth doesn't age
But we age with the truth.
Just like one plus two makes
three
The truth to any degree, Will
set us free.
The truth is a needle residing in
a galaxy
Compelling to believe it's all but
a fallacy
The truth can hurt, as we all
know
But lies can heal?! That may be
so
For every lie, the truth appears
And so the lies remain
ensnared
And as we filter and realize that
all that glitters isn't gold.
That dignifies youth,
In other words
Not all that sounds right is the
Truth.

Take me to summer of dress that is cool, sensual, and demure.
Having such memories, takes me into a realm where I was immature.
Evenings that awoke me with views of such softness, nothing obscure.
Soft wispy movements that turn all gentlemen’s heads to watch closely,
Undeniably noticing the curves that have inspired many creations,
Now, from out of our past creativity flows from silhouettes seen freely.
Daring but ever so subtle this dress, worn in leisure along in vacations,
Reveling the season it was designed and named after in natural grace.
Each time I see this attire, many emotions flow upon mind and face.
Summer warmth and subtle winds allow this to be worn at any place.
Secures power of sun, for our ladies, each dignifies femininities case.

Footsteps echo in the hollow hallway
around the old cavernous cathedral
making the silence much too deafening.
The tall candle's faintly flickering flame
proves too confined, too feeble to brighten
the indigo darkness all around it.
Tonight, the hard, wooden kneeler torments
my knees, but strangely somehow dignifies,
reassures the core of the core of me.

The candle's faintly flickering flame
is somehow dim enough to darken
the indigo darkness around it ... even more.
Echoes of footsteps quiver in the hollow
hallway around the cavernous cathedral,
making the silence deafening ... even more.
Tonight the wooden kneeler, unforgiving,
torments my knees, but strangely dignifies
the core of me, reassuring me ... even more!

The gold of time, age, dignifies my rhyme
and sends the sullen apparatus ~ crime
unto its last encounter undermine,
the facts review, not faith, as much as true
are destiny's foul choice, left now to view!
The dignity, prayer's ovum, born anew
is strength from God to love, just to love you,
interpreting my destiny's ensue
fulfilling freedom, with its fond adieu
respect, concern, and thankfulness live through!
