Truce

Truth be told
Truth be lied
Nothing left to hide
I get the power to reside
No more just confide
Be by my side
Truth trust slide

Premium Member Truce

Are you also truly, undoubtedly, deeply in love with me?
Or is it all purely, shamefully one big ruse?
Are you and I ever going to call upon a truce?

Truce

This rose will surely die
Just as surely
my love for you never will

Sad and dry
this occasional bloom

But I can still smile
knowing petrified love
is still absolute beauty

Declare Truce Which Wood Reduce

Declare Truce Which Would Reduce

What they did do was declare a truce,
That prices would eventually reduce;
Profit expand,
We demand;
Trump came up with a perfect excuse.

No Truce

I don’t make excuses,
  and won’t pretend

But I do attack,
  and will defend

If your argument's weak,
  with reasons thin

No mercy shown
  —or truce to win

Truce

Here’s the forbidden gate I open,
The fear abdicates and I shake hands with the demons.
As treacherous as it seems, I even it smoothly,
Dealing the ache with silence is my specialty.
The refusal that my grey days will be bright again, 
Is the strongest weapon for the evil….

Time For a Truce

Time which once was is now gone Seconds ticking on and on Time just keeps on passing by It stops not to cheer or cry Time, we've no control o'er it It's got no patience to sit Time, we must make the best use Only way to make a truce 05.26.2021

Premium Member A Truce Hovers In the Air

An uneasy truce hovers in the air
    combatants tense, no soldier dares
  to catch a minute's sleep
    the price of that, far too steep  

  Minutes pass, they feel like hours
    searchlights flare o'er watchtowers
  The truce so far's held half a night
    soldiers curse to mask their fright...

The Uneasy Truce

Assaulted by man and machine,
Intertwining branches of pristine woods
Form a brave barrier.

A paved path,
Line of demarcation,
Divides Nature from civilization.

The truce is uneasy;
The detritus of man
Encroaches upon the boundary.

Thus man defiles the very sanctuary
He spiritually needs,
Diminishing himself in the eyes of the gods.

Premium Member Santa and the Grinch Make a Truce

A truce was made on that snowy hill
By the Grinch and Santa, I heard from Bill
They decided to get along for a little while
Their terms were torn into bits in a giant pile

They fired their lawyers and got rid of their wives.
We can agree on something, they said, giving high fives.
It took almost a year, but that was okay.
They finally agreed the next Christmas Eve Day.

War- Christmas the Truce

Guns fell silent, nervous heads appeared,
one by one from the trenches climbed,
for a short while no-one feared,
some spoke while others mimed.
They kicked a football,
hugged fellow man.
Peace to all.
We can
stop


In memory of the Christmas truce in 1914, when men from both sides,
for a brief period, forgot their differences. For contest 'It's Christmas time again', sponsor Broken Wings

Premium Member Truce?

She sat there spell bound
It's so hard to believe
Never has she been speechless 
It’s a miracle it seems

No one could comprehend
Why the sudden change
Half time was over
It was back to the game.

The  miracle suddenly disappeared
She was her same old self
Her mouth in full gear
No one could figure what had happened here

Then a wise old man
Stood up and said
If we can’t watch the game
Your commercials are dead
