Truth Poems

Premium MemberSea and Sand

In the midst of no man’s land
In the town of my birth
Once I dreamed of sea and sand
Sitting on the granite earth
A lot of water has flown under
All the bridges where I stood
Looking down, caught up in wonder
It was real and too good
A lot of time has passed since then
At the sea resorts I’ve stayed
Walked

Got Jokes

Whats the f*king deal
This sh*t can't be real
It's gotta be a hoax
Or some kind of f*ked up
demented joke
But I haven't laughed at all
Well a little giggle
while I was slamming my
head into this brick wall
over & over & over again
because... why the f*k not?
Sh*t's been a lil extra
you gotta admit - it's a lot
I'm tryin not

Word of Our Testimony

Like boats that float upon the ocean wide,
We dwell within this world, yet not its tide.
The vessel sinks when water finds its way,
So too our souls, if worldly winds betray.

We are in the world, but not of worldly mold,
Our citizenship in heaven we uphold.
To guard our hearts from shipwreck and despair,
We must control desire and

Mask of Truth

Truth trips the tongue mid-stage
the mask cracks in the glare,
applause feeds on the lie
failure wears a spotlight.
          youth fades with truth
          truth holds the proof
          smooth words uncouth

Premium MemberDream world

All that is manifest, is doomed to die
and is therefore merely a lucid dream,
wherein attachments cause our heart to sigh,
separated from truth by thoughts that stream.

God absolute exists beyond space-time,
which is our home too, as the light of Self,
beheld in the gap betwixt bliss beat’s chime,
when no agenda remains on our shelf.

This truth now known,

You learn more about people when they die

Shape of the mouths
Silence of the footsteps
Harmony  of the tears
Firmness of the handshakes
Emptiness of the buffet


Declare:
Were they in love or in need.

An order that isn't

What causes one to feel this way?  

 
lack of control over every emotion, like you’ve fallen from a cliff
out and in goes the air through your lungs as you barely breathe 
vexed heart rate – feeling like you’re experiencing arrhythmia 
every whisper and flutter is seen, even if it’s just you in the

On the fatherhood

It's difficult to define a father precisely
So, let's imagine how a father would be
A father may be figuratively similar to these:
A starting point, a fulcrum, a roof, a piece of land
A mountain, a sky, a star, a beam of sunshine
A lamp, a mirror, a book, a guide,a set of minds, 
...
I reckon a father can

Windfall

You were so loud,
shootin’ off your mouth,
’bout why the world sh-ts on you,
talkin’ old tropes
thought up by filthy dopes,
that never once were proven true.
You stood so proud,
but, man, where are you now?
Living in a poor rat trap.
Say you’re oppressed,
don’t bother to get dressed,
think government should ‘pay you back.’

Sad to say, we worked and you played,
we’re

Unwavering Before Eternity

Death's Shadow creeps across the wall 
Where memories of triumph Stand tall 
Each scar tells stories of battles won 
Each breath echoes choice made, undone.

The ledger of our days is closed 
Accounted for in every pose 
No whispered no apologies sought 
No trembling knees, no faltering thought. 

Before the throne of judgment high 
We stand

     Fighting falsehood with mere truth is
         a losing proposition

Premium MemberSilent Times

In dead silence, there’s a sound,
noiseless and yet profound.
Deeds provoking, not quite just,
from tainted minds that think, “we must.”

What a precious gem if caught,
the divinity of thought.
To control the human heart,
that takes something very smart.

Some may think the silence means
no one hears, or so it seems.
But there is the speechless word
in the spirit that is

A Very Bad Day

When I arose one day, I could barely walk.
Had to drink my coffee before I could talk.

Before I was done, the bathroom would call,
I held the grab bar, but still managed to fall.

The shower beckoned me, so I went on in.
I slipped on the soap, and bruised my shin. 

Later I was hungry, so in
