Love conquers truth. When truth
comes without love it is an
unsheathed cruel sword.

Love is the highest form of truth.

*

Sathya Marga is

Sanskrit for the path of truth

should more often be followed

by spies or sleuths

*

Silence is often the highest truth.

No speech can contain infinity.

Ice melts into water

Sour green apples
become sweet fruit

Hate is transformed by love

Lies can
grow into truth

*

It took him many
years
his peronalisty

mask to discover
but only seconds
his face to uncover
How wonderful
to be free

*

MAMMAL CANNIBAL

*

He was
an animal
cannibal
eating male bears'
and bulls'
canned balls.
He would have eaten
any mammal..
whale, big horned sheep,
bald eagle, camel.

(the head of one of the USDA's
state fish and wildlife services)

*

BEKNIGHTED NIGHT

*

The sun as his vassal
did beknight

his sunrays, magic

wands of light.

But it was earth

which in turning away

the starstudded
moonjeweled sky

did benight.

*

=

*

Truth glows as light
in the velvet sky of night

*

BEN GAY AND ARTHUR ITIS

*

She heard her fiancee
had in the past
been in bed
with Ben Gay
and Arthur Itis
but she did not
worry
for vegans rarely
contract AIDS
and without uric
acid
it's harder to
get arthritis.

*

BEYOND

*

Beyond the
holiest of sleuths
Beyond the soothsayer
.. the sayer of sooth
Beyond all veils
and clouds dwells
God as Love
God as Truth

*

BOAT

*

The Washington boat
best floats
when it has the most leaks

*

ELECTION BET

*

Our father won five thousand
dollars on the 1948 election.
He bet every state's Democrat
Republican win loss correctly.

BY NO RUSE

By no
ruse
does the rose
in her petaled goblet
to the skies
her fragrance raise
as spirits touching her
do rise

*
RHYMING COUPLETS

*

Speak couplets rhyming
of coupling twotiming
and as she viewed
her former life
she resolved never
again.. to a mate to lie.
Shame can be
the mother of good change.

leela: Sanskrit for
  the play of God
the playwright
li: Chinese for
a little over 1/3 of
a mile
LI Long Island
and Liechtenstein
li: lithium

CAESAR TELLS THE TRUTH

*

Truth can be unshrouded
Lies have infinite veils
Caesar needs no sleeves
of machine gun shells.
When Caesar tells the truth
joy bursts out from bells.
The sun comes out
uncloaked
by choking clouds...
newly birth-trailing
1 radiant umbilical
cumulus cord.

*

CHERRY PICKING

*

God designed
orchard trees
to be cherrypicked
both
in cherry trees
and in pursuit eclectic
of truth electric

*

PERFECTION

*

As effortlessly
as the sun's rays
arriving from a distant
star
spread their rays
does truth, resounding
in the heart,
go forth
at the speed of light

*

UNWILY

*

Unwily the rose wild
who lasts still a while

*

DORMANT BEFORE THE DOOR

How many lie dormant before
the door of their own Divinity?

*

SAGITTARIAN TRUTH

*

Sagittarius is sometimes called
the sign of tactless truth...but
this is truth ephemeral
.... a linear
swordslash in the sea of
Truth Eternal

*

GESTATING EGG OF SILENCE

*

The gestating egg of Silence
is fractured by unnecessary
speech as the fertile eggs
of chickens when cracked
spill blood everywhere.

*

WHAT IS NOT LOVE IS NOT TRUTH

*

Anything which is not
loving is in the final
analysis not Truth, because
Truth is Love. Love is God.
God is Truth.

*

LILIES OF TRUTH

*

On dungheaps of lies
grow the lilies of truth.
Through bodies of his fallen foes
grow the bushes of the rose.

*

TWILIGHT

*

Darkness with light
mixed is twilight.
Truth with falsehood
mixed is halftruth.

*

NEVER FALSE PHLOX

*

There can be false flags
but never false flowers
never false phlox
Even when like stained glass
they shade the sun's hue
all lights....are true

*

CHALICE SKYBOWL

Truth spreads as quietly and easily as morning
light beams fill the chalice of the skybowl. It resonates
in every heart.

*

TRUTH IS MERCY TRUTH IS FORGIVENESS

*

Truth is one with Mercy. It is not
accusatory or punishing. It is
an aspect of Eternal Love, not
preoccupied with ephemeral facts,
never accusatory or punishing. It is
sea waves or melting snow erasing
incriminating footprints. It is the
absolving rain washing away
the hate chalk by the sidewalk.

(to H R F Keating..
perhaps H R F stands for His Royal
Friend)
