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.

Truly beautiful. A wonderful poem about what we want, love, have, fear losing. A perfect summation. There are not many who can handle such topics with honesty. Your work is always great to read, because I never know what I will find under the layers

Laying my eye's on you at last
Sweet beauty no way to measure
Wanting nothing more of us
Than to give joy to the pleasure

Touching prose for the one you've found.
Lovely!

I really enjoyed this poem mostly because of the rhyme scheme. I always think that love is both selfish and selfless, and this poem really showed it.

Good job with this poem, keep it up Tate!

What's good for the world is good for the one and vice versa.
