    Trust and truth (death of, the)

    Smiles shining like the teeth
    of sunbeams on a sickle
    The empty garish revenants
    for love now long proved fickle.
    You love me so, you love me not,
    I - more fool to believe -
    That teeth and tongue reciprocate
    what minds so well deceive.
    No day but today



    -God is real, unless proclaimed integer-

    Delightful. The rhyme works wonderfully for me. Emily D's poetic style comes to mind.

    Enjoyed very much.

    who am I but a stitch in time
    what if I were to bare my soul
    would you see me origami

    Love this little poem - particularly the opening two lines.

    Hill(rhymehater)walker loving your rhymes is a far greater compliment than I could possibly follow
    (and I agree re: the opening lines)
    Not sure about the title though... a little grandiose....

    For those who believe,
    no explanation is necessary.
    For those who do not,
    none will suffice.
