Love Truth (Original)
I think
This might be
a good thing.
In opening
this third eye,
it all looks so strange,
it all looks so clean.
Now I don't really know you,
and I don't really know truth.
But I'd love to.
I don't really know you,
But the words you say just might be true.
If I blink
you might
fade from my memory.
Keep my eye open,
and try to say what I mean,
one important thing.
That I refuse to hold to
anything that's not you,
so that's what ill choose, and do.
I'll live in fear
and hope too,
to get the chance to love
what I feel in you.
But I think
I know what's
happening.
I change
right before
your eyes.
to someone
unseen, brand new
already moving.
So what, I really know you,
but still I've never known truth,
and I'd love to.
Not for any one use,
but because you just might be true.
Thank you for spending time here. The poetry community is continuing to grow and every day I see more and more being posted. One good way to share in community is the Poetry Slam Challenge #2: Freedom. Not only do you get to share your work and earn SBD prizes, you get to know the rest of the community better and they're awesome.

Awesome.. Especially this line,
"If I blink
you might
fade from my memory."
Superb.. ^^
Thank you!
Nice, and what is truth? is one person's truth the same for another. Hey just rambling the idea of truth is so abstract. I also picked the same line as miserableoracle as my favorite.
If I blink
you might
fade from my memory.
For me, beings sort of a minimalist in my own work, I think I would have just said,
If I blink
you might
fade.
Best, nicely done.
I think that would have been equally beautiful. I wax and wane with simplicity in my writing, but I do love minimalism. Thanks for your feedback
I'm normally not a fan of poetry in general (just a preference), but I have seen some really fantastic pieces here on Steemit. This is one of the best ones. Thank you for sharing it sir!
That's such a great compliment, I do know how much poetry is on here so thank you.
A very good song that is missing a very good melody and a singer )
haha funny, this poem was adapted to a song for a student short film I made where I wasn't able to use anything but original music
