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.

A superb and magical image of what true love is, and it is a rare gift to be cherished.

My friend I think you have painted a wonderful picture.

great job your words ring true.

Truth my friend is a slippery customer and varies from person to person

I do not doubt the power of love but there are many forms of as many as perceptions of the truth
Enjoyed the read it made me think out of the box

an insightful poem Tate...liked the way it began by reminiscing...then focused on the blessings and gratitude of your present day..not everyone can appreciate what they have until it is gone...you obviously can. Thanks.

it gives a new meaning to meeting halfway. a love like that seems hard to find nowadays, especially with the differences in this generation and the older generations. what was pure back then has been taken for granted now. and when looking, one must find one willing to meet halfway and make the same efforts. maybe its timing?
