I never intended to be God
 verity not demigod
I don't wish to be anything else
    than to be myself...

Which dreams you'll live for,
Which verity you'll live in,
Whose side you'll live by,
Questions how you'll live and die
Answered by the state of heart...

Walking among our clouds of doubt
Our fate is sealed
with innocent ambiguity
Our steps are laden
with blind uncertainty
Our yearnings, like cliffs
fall away to guiltless verity...

I live in this imaginary world,
A world away from reality.
I fear to open the doors,
The doors to unveiled verity.
I shut my eyes and wish,
Wish forever to cling to this fantasy.

Once there was a man called Cigar, the might
His wonder-statement “Might is always right”
Verity when supposed never
Wind somebody up for sure
Bloody this Cigar could only be a movie star. right?...

Innervation kidnapped reality
Stark vibes nimbly scoured verity
From the hands of universality
Innervation kidnapped reality
At the forefront of totality
Paradise delivered clarity
Innervation kidnapped reality
Stark vibes nimbly scoured verity...

branches hide dark trout
swimming beneath truth of light
floating secret lives
in deep wanton quiet pools
verity lives amongst them

Another Beiderbecke
Compact disc
Exacting feverous,
Gratifying harmonious
Idyllic Jazz.
Kings, Lords, make noble
Obeisance portraying
Qualifying
Ratifications.
Some, tendering
Unqualified verity, when
Exuberant youth
Zonked!

When Verity was only five she’d kiss the boys, oh how they cried
When Verity was nearly ten, they squirmed when she kissed them again
She had some birthdays, one or two, the boys began to form a queue
When Verity became fifteen, a queue so long there’d never been...

Fate, my friend, why thus treat me?
You a friend has always been;
Why should I a verity refuse?
I never could your amity choose,
But years of forced camaraderie and stay
Have taught what I perhaps coudn't learn in a day:
That to me you're an unabandoning friend!...

if the truth is told
when we disconnect
another missed called
another blank text

if the feelings that hide
behind the heart's wall
are pushed to the bottom
hidden from all

if the thoughts spin around
circling inside my head
unspoken verity
better left unsaid...

deceiving
            the eye
with emphasis &
              suggestion

stresses
       of the fanciful
evidence
      of the significant
with
                implications
  illusions
     enigmas

        connotations
                  in the eye
of
the
beholder...

If they cut 
 my meat,
meat  they will  not find ...
If they extract away
 my eyes,visions they
will not  find ...
If they break me
the legs,
bones not
there will be ...
But they burn
my poems, they
will discover
the whole verb,
all humanity verity
since
the genesis ...!...

do not bore me with facts
I like my channel
We rolled our eyes

The truth is there
but her channel speaks of fake news
She believes what she believes

when did they stop making TV news channels
Verity that the news was accurate
before reporting it as news?

This is the consternation...

I keep falling
in deeper water,
sinking like a desirous penny
to the bottom of your well
where pretty things
no longer thrive
and love is
a shade of gray

I'm swimming in the mouth
of murky dreams
and my heart
is no longer transparent,
she's wading
in a smutty film
of verity

how ugly...

gray areas  
exist  
within life 
never are there
clear cut 
black or white 
aspects 
all can be seen 
from a verity of
vantage points 
depending upon the
individuals 
state of mind at 
the time of 
experience 
live with an open mind 
live with an open heart 
live within the gray areas...

Versifier - A communion.


The sacrifice, adore, psalms - divine,

Inner devotion is emotion, commotions of thought,

Truth - from estranged proverbs, severe afflictions of the sacred heart,

Verity is fact, the axiom domain,

The path - flames of sentiment,

A sacred grail, of poured emotions....

~ Love lost, the aching-
desire, burning-within, frail, 
though; will I rise, greater-
before days; because 
promised, hope-
chance; verity 
my faith these 
gentle-whispers-
echo-the-opportunity,
and so it is to them-I-
answer, fall before. For this; 
God; I-know would never negate. ~...

Can truth exist
  within a vacuum

Can it stand alone
  without listener or teller

Can its words contain value
  left to themselves

Can its verity outlive 
  its many disciples

Can its hope transcend
  all circumstance and change

Can truth given unto itself 
  —exist at all

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2015)...

You can’t embrace
the moment forever
whose verity 
at essence ungrained

By definition
it must rename itself
once mentioned
decried and disclaimed

What came upon you
to die in place
where vacuums exit
in time and space

Regenerating
from life’s cocoon
and starting over
—Amayasvan moon

K-now what the truth is, 
R-efrain from going astray; 
I-t's time to see the light, 
S-eptember seventh Thursday. 

A-im to know what the truth is, 
L-et the real facts flow; 
B-e sentient of dangerous deceit, 
E-vade the tricks of foe. 
R-eview or evaluate 
T-he verity of a piece; 
O-pen your eyes and mind, know what the truth is....
