Axiom

On to a measure I feel guilt for descanting,
truth, and aggrieving a heart.
Comes again a sense of sorrow towards not
ensuing authenticity, and nestling in quietude.
More often than not, feel inimical after failing to master,
what I will pan in hindmost!

You know being a student I have always learnt the definition of Axiom , a self evident truth that does not require proof and I have studies many axioms in maths..But I never thought you will use that word to create such a beautiful poem...Loved it..You explained its meaning so well..Great work..Keep on writing dear..

“In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.”
A quote from Churchill.
Think I'm saying. Truth can be dangerous and really should come with a health warning.

[Mrudula Rani]

Agree with you. Not every one can stomach truth!

stimulating use of the language my friend! and some of our wondrous poetic tools ...your voice and your speaker are one in the same in this one .. and there is an admirable sensitivity in your L1&2 says i! ... i think truth can never be over-sought or talked ;) its pursuit ...its best reward ... love the "...nesting... ahhhhhhhhhhhh! subtle satirical closing sir ... and how wonderful the world would be if it learned from hindsight ... sigh! ... think i will go back to "...nesting in quietude" :) stimulating worthwhile read for me ...first thing this morning...glad i had my 2 cups of coffee already

What I love about your writing is that it makes me want to invest the effort in looking up new words and phrases. I had no idea what axiom meant, but upon looking it up, I realized you had written a perfect definition.

You my friend are an artist.

Your kind and sweet words went straight to my heart. Thank you. uma grande abraço ( a big hug).
