What is Truth

True love seeks not itself to please for it fears no loss of station Creating ease, with every breeze Heaven grows to Hell's frustration

 

 

Becky and I 

False love seeks of itself to please

laughing at others pain and plight

Joys in the tease, the loss of ease

wreaking Hell of Heavens respite

 

True love seeks not itself to please

for itself it has not a care

Creating ease, with every breeze

Heaven grows within Hell's despair

 

Author's Note

It isn't so hard to understand the differences in love and usury.
One is selfish the other selfless.

True love alters things that we deem impossible. And eases our burden to remember to remember. We don't use honest Love, it uses us........Lovely, thank you...Barbz

You're welcome.

There is a selflessness to love that is hard to grasp when we are young, and becomes easier as time passes.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you kl yes you are right Love is the only trait that is worth remembering because it is meant to be given away selflessly. The recipient is as happy to receive it as you were to give it!

I wish I could have seen the picture...
Beautiful thoughts...
You are using apostrophes where none belong...

[David Lewis Paget]

Nice one, Tate. That juxtaposition of Heaven and Hell is almost eighteenth century in it sentiments. And a great pic of you two.

[Allen Smuckler]

superlative Tate...truly emotional and heartfelt
wonderful picture...terrific song...and Tate
a masterpiece of a write
I do not throw those words around lightly...tears came to my eyes ... and remain
I loved the way you set the mood, climaxed in the third stanza (which by the way is as good a four lines as I've read) and finally settled into heavenly love (what's better then that?).
Thanks for sharing

it's sad how people today come together for convenience rather than love. for one it's a chance at a better life for the other it's a tax write-off. it's rare to find people who love each other for being who they are, without having some kind of motive. this is superficial. very lovely poem.

This is very well done! Great job!!

One can only be used if they allow it. Sometimes the used gets as much out of it as the user. Adults allow what they allow. Give and take, take and give. It is the way people live.
