(This poem complements A Sad Truth)
Beauty’s Response
Sad Truth, you so mistake and malign me.
Do you think I care for cheap flattery?
These insults are more difficult to bear
than your current rejection and negation.
I would prefer their silence and neglect
over the cheap parody and deceit.
For Beauty is not as simple as Truth –
you are a quality expressed,
whereas I am one the soul absorbs;
Beauty expressed is not beauty.
How shall we enlighten this distinction?
For this difference is the simple answer
to aesthetics. But few will delve below
the falseness of imitation and find
the breathtaking truth of Beauty.
When You Just Aren’t
Like Anyone Else
Ever... Yeah, Whatever,
Phone A Friend.
HELLO? ring ring
So You Can Selfishly
Quit Trying, One Way
Or Another.
Ohhh... There's The Edge
There's The Edge!
PLEASE!
***
You Can Do It
The Easy Way,
Or The HARD Way.
OR...
I Quantum Quack
What Wonks Here
It's Hard, It
HATES THE FALSENESS OF WORDS!
***
And Then, Well "Living."
***
Am I Supposed To Talk About
The Inevitabilities Of Life
But The Appreciation
Of The Miracle Of Actuality
All In Summary Here?
***
But, Satisfied...
.....&&&&&&&.....
*There Are Infinite*
BETTER
Other Ways
To Give UP
& Give IN.
***
&&&
It's Beautiful, Just
Appreciate
ALL Of It.
Slow Down.
***
That's Something
I Just Had To Try.

As you move, I see the falseness in each stride,
A puppet of deceit, with nothing left to hide.
Every gesture, once genuine, now feels forced,
A facade crumbling, revealing your true course.
Your words drip with venom, leaving a bitter taste,
A sharp sting that lingers, hard to erase.
Your voice, once soothing, now grates like nails,
Each syllable a dagger, a story that fails.
I watch your smile, now twisted and sly,
The deceit in your eyes is impossible to deny.
Your touch, once warm, now feels like ice,
A chill that spreads, devoid of any vice.
Your laughter, hollow and false,
Promising kindness, hiding the malice it scrawls.
The warmth you once radiated now feels cold,
A presence that darkens, making me fold.

In shadows cast by doubts and fears,
A heart feels unworthy, shedding tears.
But beware the web of deception's art,
For truth and lies entwine, tearing us apart.
The notion of feeling unloved, my friend,
Can be a mirage, a wicked trend.
For love's pure essence, it does exist,
Yet disguised sometimes, in a deceptive twist.
Like whispers in the night, lies may creep,
A cunning game, secrets they keep.
But truth, though masked, cannot be contained,
Its flickering light shall always remain.
Behind each falsehood, a fragment of truth,
A treacherous dance, a delicate sleuth.
But strength lies in deciphering the real,
To seek the truth, to truly heal.
Yet, let us not be consumed by despair,
For love's embrace, it's always there.
Though deception weaves its intricate design,
Love's power transcends, it will always shine.
So, my friend, when feeling unworthy's sting,
Remember, love's grace can truly bring
Redemption from falseness, a guiding light,
To banish deception, and make things right.
Rod Culleton, what can I say? But thank you mate
For all the ways, all the stands; the fireside talks
You challenge the falseness, you've walked the walk
You represent 'true Aussie creed' we'll make it right
Just as she'll' we want true hearts and mate you'll
Do.' You've got back up 'a time or two' the foe within
Can't stand our type..The shrugging shoulderd devoid
Of hype, I know you were crook ' your true heart strained.!
By souless bludgers, they're one real pain.! In many
Behinds, Geez I wish they'd discover' some hearts and minds.'
I'll say one thing more, to all the above, get well stay strong
Aussie needs such blood.' The type that just don't count
Each cost..each trifle, and hurdle. What 'might be lost?'
But whats to gain.? I advise much more.! You've done us
Proud! emptied your store, your inner self, you put skin in; This game..' You stand for more; than some shallow fame.'
So i stand and salute you, I'll meet your eye.' This country
Was built on souls that try.' We'll stay the course we'll Smash each foe, I stand with Rod.! So all will know.' That
Aussies can hope, can dream; will strive 'good on ya Rod'
You've got; some bloody drive.!
We live with
Fake people,
Fake hope,
Even though we have no choice but to cope,
Is this living,
They have much expectations towards us
So we fulfill or not they will fuss,
People call it living,
Though it's false facade and false believing,
In life,
With no spark,
With all dark,
Being soulless,
With falseness and loneliness,
It's living!!
The truth is that love is never true
It's illogical, it makes no sense
Why me? Why you?
Why us, who just happened to collide
It matters not whether we passed or failed
the tests of truthfulness or falseness
Whether we conformed to what
love is mean to be, or what others have as love or say it is.
Whether our love is accurate, reliable,
lasting, resilient or steadfast.
For the truth about love is
it's blind, incontestable, incomparable,
incorruptible, unerasable.
Love is delightfully uncertain.
For its impossible to measure or calculate
love's exact status and momentum at the same time.
Who cares anyway?
For love is just plain silly!
silence can be
proverbially golden
when cracks appear
patina can seal the fissures
and cradle what is left
once speechless bubbles
make reason and sense
until the arbiter of emotion
glows from the dark
peace emerges
from quietude and honesty
as alchemy turns falseness
into precious verdicts
little birds start talking to a rainbow
in between picking at the worms
of time and growth
the albatross is set free
Coldness up layers Warmth
Sanctuary, in the early light and misty dawns
balance appearing untouched by fear and
doubt that crumbles in front of us in sudden
disillusionment.
Falseness, and bareness, capture the tears of another
pronouncing love in an unfamiliar way
confronting each day with uncertainty, containing
indifference finding in time, life was never
the way we thought it to be.
Don't dismiss the truth spoken, in times of distance
and knowledgeable souls, understand words
spoken in grace.
Awareness mingles among patience, flirting in
fields of tranquility, mystical journeys, and abandoned thoughts
withdrawn from artificial stimulants astounded by fate's
recognition of banishment.
Coldness up layers warmth unrecognized and unexplained
unfamiliar mannerisms.

When it happened,
Only two cares the most,
Parents and family,
The symbol of selfless love;
They stick with you at this phase,
All other excuses
And
Enjoy the next phase;
So
Come on come on,
Get up and stand tall,
Tell to the depression-
Let me again shine on;
Without you i find out peace,
With you i catch into tease,
You are a monster or a demon,
Who disslove heart and soul;
Come on come on,
Break wall and scream on,
Tell to the depression-
Let me again laugh on;
Tortures without kindness,
Haunted with falseness,
You are pitty useless,
Who craves for darkness;
Come on come on,
Exhale all pain and inhale memories,
Tell to the depression-
Let me again live on;
Happy without you,
Worry with you,
You needs to rest long,
So then sit and think alone;
Just restrict the anxitey,
And work on till bloom,
Tell to the depression-
Now you are gone !!
