Truth Be Told Senryu`
Cold..but not too cold
Colors bright , but not too bold
Fall never gets old
Slow down, even with prayer, look at SKY
So easy to forget, as with God, and why?
We THINK we must hurry. Don't. Attend fully.
If a little bird told me a secret,
how did it know in the first place?
Had to clean up the mess on my sleeve.
On a wall in the House of Censorship they display the tongues of those silenced.
The plaque beneath reads “THEY ALL TOLD THE TRUTH”

E = Every child as you buzz around so bold
E = Every adult no hiding in a hive as you get old
So sad, they seem, the reasons I hide
The Truth that's left unrevealed
A thousand times my tongue has lied-
In attempt to keep it all concealed
lovers

hiding, rushing, explaining
hotels, motels, cars, rooms

The tide told me that
in paradise there is
an abundance of flowing
dreams and promises
that are reborn from the inside
of the soul of a coconut
He became cold,
advantageous amp-
...ready endearment.

My pet duck went away to the farm
To live with all the other ducks
Why can’t we visit him; what's the harm?
To go, you must be old
Or so I was told
Being with you is soothing.
You're everything anyone could ever wish for.
Can't imagine life without you.

I never knew that failure’s fair,
that loneliness lingers anywhere.
That flaws don’t mean I’ve lost my way—
after all, I’m shaped by the world’s sway.
“Has anyone told you they love you today?
Has anyone told you they love you today?
Has anyone told you they love you today?”
I love me,
I love me,
I love me
Darling, really, I do not know why
You’re startled by this hookers yelp
For was it not you that requested of me
To somehow seek professional help?

Here lies Larry Belt, once loved by all
Writing poetry before he could crawl
It happened just like he said
And now he is lying dead
Nagged to death by his mother-in-law
I've heard it said
that Between those lies,
lies the truth.
just the other day
I was lost in the game
until I found myself today
And there I discovered my name
Don't talk with food in your gob
A disgusting habit we can see what you chomp
My mommy told me
When I was only three
But I still chomp away even at eighty-four
I Told Her Goodnight
I told her goodnight for
The last time,
And the sun has never risen
Ever since!

My personal doctor approvingly told:-
"Physical training add years to yours life"
I did ten push-ups and I see, he is right,
I'm feeling myself like one hundred years old!

Experiencing life is a joy to behold
There's no greater joy, as the beauty unfolds
Do others exist
Peacefully coexist
What could be greater, the greatest ever told
it's late now
don' wantcha to come
'cause havin' some luck
with
buck and duck
stuff
prefer now to get my
mind
blown

aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
TRUTHS are-AREN'T TOLD
Lucifer says he is right
God says THAT he's NOT
