Poem Artwork

This is a repost I want to share after reading Felix Perry’s "  The Pain of Honesty ”…and I promised to post something with the same title…and take note this does not reflect anything…and no intent to offend my pal Fee…this is POETRY!!

 

*** J ***

 

"Honesty"

 

Sometimes I wish people could be more honest

They laugh at my weakness

My love for you

Their biggest joke!!

But at least

I am honest about it


There is a difference

Between good and evil

My love is good not evil

But my life became evil; that's not good

I feel somewhat numb inside

Or shall I say disappointed I weep deep inside

This is the Gods honest truth

Come inside my soul

And take a good look

And you will see

Where my darkness lurks

And you will see the difference

Between a lie and the truth of love

Lift the wall of my broken heart

It will not break the beauty apart

Because the beauty of my love deep within

Is much too strong

Nothing will destroy

The beauty of pure love… in honesty

And the love of God!!

You just do wot a girls gotta do.
Your life, you choose how, who, what, why, where, and when one lives.
Never by others.

That's an honest face if ever I've seen one..

My love is good not evil
But my life became evil; that's not good

But the first is what truly counts.

Nothing like honesty, a fruit of the Spirit, no matter what we are or what we do, if we are honest with ourselves first and others, we shine forth. Let no man judge thee.
God knows and that's all that matters.

Oh, the sobering notes of your heart, Princess Tinka.....and the truth and depth of your love.

It reminds me of when Jesus said, No greater love hath man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

I'd say you've laid your life down...

You are a marvel and a blessing, Tinka
Much love, Rhonda

Tinks ...

You touched my heart with this one you poet you.

Honesty, and the Love of God, certainly, is a meal that many more should be eating regularly.

The image Tinks expresses wistfulness, and reminds me of the librarian at my Junior High School in Mt. Prospect.

I just loved her - she was so bloody real.

Peace ...

FABULOUS!! I have just leapt over straight from Felix's page... and I, too, seem to be on the SAME page of soul-searching myself - poetically speakin. Must be something in the AD pheromones... You nailed it here, Tinka... pure love can be nothing else but truly honest and in that there is only great beauty... even though it may indeed lay itself open to misinterpretation for a while. Wonderful thoughts here and eloquently, lyrically expressed. WTG!! LOL K xx
