forthright don’t seem meandering paths ~ but they are known tried and tested 

shortcuts and trapdoors are much more direct ~ but lives they have ingested...

I believe it would fashion more insight
I perceive our actions would be forthright
We would receive a life more enchanting...

Be in command 
Is the call
Be able to decide
In your all
Be forthright
In what you do

Be empathetic 
In your dealings
Be able to leave it
In the end of it all.

The Vicar’s sermon 
Frank and forthright
Raised the question
Of the widows mite

Quite unnecessary
In my humble view
Because in our parish
There are only two
And I know for a fact
That they both do...

Kiss me so tenderly,
    Kindle me with true love
        Keep me always your slave,
             Kind and forthright I'll be,
        Kidnap me in your arms,
    Kitten-like cuddle me,
King of kismet I'll be....

Justice his goal, his words polite

Eager to help friends with their plight

Relies on small things for delight

Expressive in what he does write

Mighty in love, peaceful and quite

Yields to actions that are forthright...

Darkness appears 
When one is not sincere 
Nothing but a cloudy scenery 
As a result of the ambiguity 
Lots of chaos and confusion 
Along with frustration 
For it is better to be forthright 
Instead of putting up with a fight...

Aren’t we all 

at one time to someone

just as the world is round

unique and forthright

aspirations abound

aiming high with targets set

striving and relentless

eventually a proclamation said

how certainly profound...

what is there about a fire-
like a summons calling hither
draws us ever onward-
in a lather or a dither?

what can it be-
that leads us forthright
such as millers to a porchlight?

tell me what it is-
that tantalizes,mesmerizes

what's so cool about a fire?...

Endlessly at play,
forthright in work,
evolving to the tune
of passion eclipsed

Build a house with satin bricks
to etch a song from roots to mist
We all belong
Enfolded in rapture
In dreams, capture the wandering
of the soul-
if
allowed to breathe
To heavens it will soar...

I know some may
prefer the way
  of folks direct, up front

Some love panache
forthright and brash,
  outspoken as you want

Some may prefer 
the crash and blur   
  of histrionics bolder 

But as for me 
I'd rather be   
  tapped gently on the shoulder

A thousand miles to go,
I wander on the mysterious paths of life
Believing in the divine
Bogged down by the strenuous journey,
Yet unabashedly marching forthright.
Challenges, fears, troubles, I overcome,
Grow, look back, perplexed, at the momentum
At which I conquer the demons of my fate....

Joyfully uninhibited, forthright and super-friendly,  

Uniquely uncaring about order, actually loving mess,  

Sassy, and spirited, once crazily sexy and sensuous, 

Terrifyingly independent, willing to jump in without thinking, 

Memorable to those who bother to answer my first “hi” 

Me...

Most miserable
when she’s happy

Most shameful
when she’s proud

Most prescient
when unconscious

Most distant
 in a crowd

Most forthright
when not speaking

Most giving
when denied

Most secret 
when she’s telling all

Most dead
—but still alive

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

   (She with face inscrutable as the Sphinx.)

      Although she was nay forthright,

         Shakespeare wast somewhat polite,

            But saw through her nefarious high jinks!

Some readers questioning my quest,
 Of modern poets- who is the best?
 Although, the question is not  hard,
 I shy away with  a grieving heart

 Inside of me a constant  fight,
 Because, I cannot be forthright
 *
 To name  the others?....  I hate to lie!  
  Or praise myself ? .... I'm just too shy!...

I Call It 
Manning-Up
Written: by Tom Wright

If you’ve something to allege,
Please search for my face.
Don’t mouth to some other, 
At some distant time or place;

For you owe it to others,
To be as forthright as can be;
While requesting that others,
Be doing likewise to thee.

Spin
Written: by Tom Wright

The man who proclaims he’s nothing to conceal,
Is usually the man with it previously from sight.
If he’s attempting to convince you to “trust him”
He’s not being completely honest and forthright.



Every closet has at least one hidden skeleton.

Monotone some would say
black and white this is true
but not like simple nothing new
sitting comfortably on the couch
a look of intensity
seriousness
as if almost reaching bliss
paws out front 
haunches bent
tail forthright between two back legs
he slouches
upon his head he wears a mask
like a bandit
as he is named...

I am a woman (not Helen Reddy)
I am from London
I am uneducated
I am an individual
I am unique
I am passionate
I am trustworthy
I am forthright
I am concerned for others
I am often away with the fairies
I am curious
I am sentimental
I am a romantic
I am all these things and more
I am ME like us all a miracle of birth
    THANK GOD...

Blinded by Love

Purity can not conceive of the Depth of Darkness 

Hopefulness believes the lost will fine their way back

Genuineness yearns for the greater good 

Integrity commands high ideals

Forthright will inspirer those with a open heart


How many times will it take....

For a Pure Heart to see.....

The Gift of Truth.....

Isn't always what it appears to be........
