I Wanted To Tell You The Truth

i wanted to tell you the truth
i have long wanted to tell all these to you
years and years
i agonize on the sealing of my lips
my tongue likes to kick out my teeth
rubbing itself on the sides of the gum
my throat is dry
saliva is useless
i have long desired to tell you
about the unwanted departure
my sickness on the sea
the long hours listening to the
engine of the ship
i spoke to myself alone
on that long journey
i arrived at the port with no one meeting me
on that strange land
on that planks of indifference

i have long wished to have the last dialogue with you
but you are no longer there

you wrote a poem
about the naughty boy who shouted 'Fox! fox! fox! '

i've read it.
I gave up.

To Tell You The Truth..

to tell you the truth..
&
to tell you the truth bluntly
he expects a comforting word
whenever he opens email
on posting his creation-
once in a while he gets it for works
'not masterpieces' in his view-
the sterling works go uncared-for!
the mind dejected, winds up his interest
the gloom sets in his heart-
thinks the world is very cruel
and a great riddle beyond him-
none about him has the taste-buds
for the dream-receipes made of lovely words-
who cares for a poet with dreamy eyes
fashioning thoughts on intricate moulds?
he is lonely, so lonely with his monitor
and the ' clucking ' keyboard
that translates his thoughts from finger-hits-
even a word or two of kudos he rarely gains
jump and die within him with none to lend ears-
leave others-relatives or friends-
o how he yearns for a pat off the eyes of one
on narrating his poem in full blast of enthusiasm-
destined not to be, he is almost in tears
deprived of a breeze from the heart of his dear wife!

I'm gonna tell you

I’m gonna tell you
By: Jean Pullman

I am sick and tired of people walking all over me
As if I’m a doormat where you wipe your feet
I’m through with being walked on
I’m done with saying nothing’s wrong

CHORUS
I’m gonna tell you this once I ain’t gonna say this twice
If your smart, your ears will open and you’ll meet my eyes
Im gonna tell you the truth
I gonna tell you what I’ll do
If you don’t listen then I’ll beat the shit out of you.

I hate this feeling that you cause
If you’re not careful I’ll shred your face with my claws
So you might want to pay close attention
It’s on behalf of your life’s suspension
No more bullshit, only reality
No more of you just fucking around with me.

CHORUS
I’m gonna tell you this once I ain’t gonna say this twice
If your smart, your ears will open and you’ll meet my eyes
Im gonna tell you the truth
I gonna tell you what I’ll do
If you don’t listen then I’ll beat the shit out of you.

I am done and I hope you listened
Cause now my blood starts to thicken
I will read your eyes
And tell you all your white lies
But now I’ll let you go
Into a world you’ll never know.

Now I Know The Truth

You think yourself so smart,
Then you are dumber than i thought.

You still gonna keep on this lie,
And say that you love me,
I won't believe you no matter how you try.

You promised that i always be yours and you will be mine,
But i cought you in the middle of your crime.
Now i know who you really are,
You were just a dream that was so far.
Now i know the truth,
The truth i always knew.

You pretended to be someone you are not,
Someone: good, decent, someone who really cares,
Someone who knew me alot.

But now i know the truth,
The truth i always knew.

I can't go on in this stupid game any more,
Can't go on and pretend that every thing is OK,
So now i'll close that open door.

I can't go on, after i knew the truth,
The truth i always knew.

Tell Me The Truth

(dieter bohlen)
Producer for bonnie: dieter bohlen
I told you once I told you twice
This love is not a sacrifice
Oh take my heart and dont be a dreamer
0h tears may go and years may come
See my heart, look what youve done
0h take my heart and dont be a dreamer
Oh dont be a dreamer whos killing my heart
Tell me the truth
Times on my side
Oh baby give it one more try
Tell me the truth no compromise
Only a strong love will survive
I never tear apart
Its written in my heart
Ill never ever hurt you
I wasted days, I wasted nights
A restless love, an endless fight
Oh take my heart and dont be a dreamer
My world begins and ends with you
A breathless love painted in blue
Oh take my heart and dont be a dreamer
Oh dont be a dreamer whos killing my heart
Tell me the truth
Times on my side
Oh baby give it one more try
Tell me the truth no compromise
Only a strong love will survive
I never tear apart
Its written in my heart
Ill never ever hurt you

Tell us The Truth

Tell us the truth
Tell us the truth
They said.

So he told them
The Truth,
Untainted
Undiluted
Straight
Direct

That's not the truth
It hurts,
They said.
Tell us the 'real' truth,
The Truth!

So he repeated it.
Again, the unadulterated
Spotless,
Plain truth.

You do not like us, do you, they said.
We're asking you
For the 'proper' truth,
The 'Real Truth',
Not
This hurtful rubbish
Tell us that truth
Tell us that truth.

So, weary,
And now wary,
He told it to them
Once more.
He did not change his story,
He told them
What he had always believed in,
He told them
That no matter how unpleasant
It sounded,
His feelings for them
Remained the same
He gave it to them
Once more,
Direct,
Undiluted,
Impartially,
But passionately nevertheless.
The Truth.

Go away, go away
They said.
You do not understand us
You do not like us.
Go away.

So goes the story
Of how they lost
The best leader
They could ever have had,
The only one
Who really understood them,
The only one
Who wanted nothing
But the best
'For Them',
The only one
Who never shied away
From The Truth
The only one
Who loved them as they were.

I Will Tell You

Are we here?
Nobody says no.
But I believe not.

Is it a circle?
Everybody says yes.
But I believe not.

Take a break.

I will tell you
the reason
and you will be
out of question

Just tell me the truth

If your not going to come,
Then just tell me,
You almost never end up coming,
Its always im sick or my moms sick or i got hurt,
Just tell me the truth,
Are you not telling me the truth,
Do you just not want to see me,
Lies all Lies,

Tell the truth and shame the devil

I told the truth, I have shame the devil.i told god the truth not the devil when you push that pedal you have told the truth a shame the devil.

God vs Devil, God the truth and the light, then you have the devil the father of all lies in the prince of darkness.his soul black like the midnight sky, his soul bright up the world.

Tell the truth and shame the devil, my soul ripes water when i tell the truth.so be cool play it by god rule.

Tell Me The Truth

I believe were crossing the great ravine
Still yearning half way a stranger
I believe in our multiplicty
Still part-blind no reason for anger
I believe we pull up our roots and retreat
A new crop of aerials in dacca and canberra
Why dont you tell me the truth about you
Vaseline, you smeared it across every scene
Anchor-man drowns in a sea of sensation
Tyranny, crushing the young birds seed
Halloweens mate, short fuse of the banker
Were all spores but were never eunuchs
Loves on the loose deflect the short tunic
And the cameras ruse
Theres no judgement in ignorance I say
Some people tell me stories, wasting all my time
Some trying not receiving someone elses lies
Its my time, yes its my time

Tell All The Truth

Tell all the truth but tell it slant,
Success in circuit lies,
Too bright for our infirm delight
The truth's superb surprise;

As lightning to the children eased
With explanation kind,
The truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind.

Learn From The Truth And Live

2,000 years of history cannot be wiped away so easily! !
So, learn from the truth and live;
However, the truth is also hidden from the very eyes of many!
But, at that time,
In a desolate place,
You will clean the dust bowl to hunt for food.

Til I Said It To You

(tom shapiro, sharon vaughn, walter wilson)
Love is a powerful word
A little word that oughta mean something
Love better mean what it says
Say what you mean or it doesnt mean nothing
Love is a dangerous door to open
If you dont feel it when its spoken
Chorus:
Sometimes I said it when I really didnt mean it
Just to throw away a promise I knew wasnt true
It meant a little less to me everytime I did it
But I never said I love you from the heart
Til I said it to you
You made me tell you the truth
And that truth was a total revelation
I see I have it in me
Now I can speak without any hesitation
I love you comes so freely
For the first time I believe me
Repeat chorus x2

If The Truth Be There...Tell It

The strength of America,
Was built on the backbone
Of those of color.
Those who paved the railroads...
Chinese, Mexicans, Indians and Blacks.
And slaved in the fields.
The Irish know that these are facts.
Indentured slaves...
Many of them were.
While the 'others' found ease in comfort!
And doing what they feel.
While they imported relatives...
To begin nepotism deals.
Some with no English spoken at all.
And their ancestors made sure,
They were not the ones to sweat.
While ignorance at a time ran rampant...
To create today's regrets!
And that is the history,
Often not told...
To those who have chosen racism,
As the way to go!
To claim what is and not theirs to share!
If the truth be there...
Tell it!
And not sell deceit,
That defeats...
Lost souls!

I Am Not Going To Tell You The Name Of The City

I am not going to tell you the name of the city
in which my steps are still searching for me.

I am not going to tell you the name of the city
whose bridges are longer than life.

I am not going to tell you the name of the city
under whom even the sky was like a tent.

I am not going to tell you the name of the city
in which I learned to start up a new journey as soon as I arrive.

I am not going to tell you the name of the city
which is never to grow old.

I am not going to tell you the name of the city
in which I met the eyes with the color of the sky.

I am not going to tell you the name of the city
in which I was knocking on my own doors from inside.

I am not going to tell you the name of the city
which was a cage far too small for my wings.

Tashi

Eat it all and eat it raw!
And, drink it hot like a cocoa drink;
For, i need you to satisfy my icy world with your love.

Of the gold vest hanging in your room,
With the status of puberty to develop your regular spot;
For, it is time for the bathroom!
However, your mother didn't tell you the truth.

You are now a grown up lady with your date of birth,
But you are like the Easter Bunny!
However, your mother didn't tell you the truth;
And, time will surely call on you one day.

Tashi! !
Eat it all and eat it raw;
And like the bushman with a meat at hand,
But, time will surely call on you one day.

Brush up on your Biology to take a stand on this issue!
For, you now have this muse of love at hand;
But eat it all and eat it raw! !
And like the hot cocoa drink in the land of your muse.

I Want To Tell You

Your eyes are the stars of my sky;
Your breath is my wind.
And from the moment you first said hello to me,
My heart had suddenly opened.

Nearly every day, we sit in classes together;
Yet I still cannot tell you the truth.
I do not wish to ruin what good we already have
Simply because you are just too cute.

I want to tell you something,
But the words just won't come out.
But feelings, desire and romance
Is what it's meant to be about.

With your sweetly scented dark hair
And the heavenly voice of a kitten,
I received a personal visit from the love-bug,
By whom I was strongly bitten.

There's no limit to what I want to do with you.
I take trips to the cinema for a movie to see.
In there, I turn my head to notice that empty seat,
Wishing you were right there next to me.

I dream of a dazzling summer sunset,
One that only you and I together sit through
And I refuse to deny any part of the way I feel
Whenever I am with you.

But instead I sit all alone,
My back against the trunk of an oak tree,
Telling you I want you
In the only way I know how: poetry.

Penny for My Thoughts?

Penny for my thoughts?
Those are ten dollars a pop now!
And IF you want me to make sense...
Add an extra 15 dollars for the effort.
Comprehension communicated?
Well...
If you hire me as your psychologist,
I'll have you believing you are admired.
And to keep you feeling that way,
For the rest of your life...
Is going to take a miracle!
And for miracles,
I will require complete devotion.
With a guaranteed commitment,
You will give me 75% of everything you own.
I will deliver you quicker than anything or anyone,
That has been teasing you with nonsense.
You pay to receive with no immediate relief!
Every Sunday morning...
You are down on your knees,
Being duped and pleading to be forgiven!
For sins you are going to pay for anyway.
I'll make you a deal...
And I will not mention satan and his disciples of evil,
If you promise me to keep your sins to yourself?
For you...
I can not play God!
You have made others who do too rich with pretentions.
I will tell you the truth!
And you will be freed of hell!
But...
For a price!
And I can not do a damn thing with pennies!

Speak the truth and you'll be heard.

She told me she cared,
I knew she lied,
She told them she cared,
They knew she lied,
She said she wanted me to be the best,
I knew she lied,
She said to them she wanted me to be the best,
They knew she lied,
She whispered she loved me,
I knew she lied,
She whispered to them she loved me,
They knew she lied,

She pretended everything when I was there,
She pretended to love me,
She pretended to care,
She said she wanted me to be happy,

We all knew the truth was not what she speak,
We all knew the truth was just about to leak,
We all knew the truth would come out,
We all knew the truth, with no doubt,

She was just like the people surrounding,
Pretending, acting, lying,
So the truth is what I spoke when I spoke to her,
I told her the truth is true, the truth is fair,
I told her...

If it's a lie, don't say another word,
However, speak the truth, and you'll be heard,

To lie to someone who truly loves you for you,
Is one of the most cruel things you can ever do,

To let them believe what you say to them is true,
When really all your thinking about is you, you and you.

Caught between the truth and a lie

Caught between the truth and a lie
~
I've been led astray
gave my hand to a merry dance
and swayed to what I perceived
as an honest appraisal of life
found myself believing at will
whatever came across my way
when enough visor was offered
religion and public opinion
which has long since been divided
by the strength of their sales pitch
has come into the state of play
I've succumb to both at times
and left wondering exactly why
fool me once and shame on me
fool me again and I've a lesson to learn
third time can never bare any charm
after that there is no help
perhaps hope is fleeting as well
but what is true at the end of the day
but a lie away from what I believe
