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.

I'm applauding here! Brilliant poetry Tate. One of your best I think! Helena :)

[Richard Williams]

A fine capture of your true love, and a fine metaphor and dichotomy, using the despair of hell that is then turned to heaven by the true love and not the false one. False love seeks not to please is the heart of this poem. A very nice picture, too, by the way.

[DONALD EISSLER]

Yes another verbal painting from an artists loving hand.. You have captured in words what a painting captures on a canvas .... beauty in the mind can be as beautiful as seen by the eye..One just needs the proper artist to paint the picture with his words .
You my friend are that artis.

Your words are true, and sometimes question the simple things that some can find hard to understand. That is a good aspect of a poet, because you provide a gentle view-point in which sometimes you have experianced.
Very stunning and well done.
Thank you.
