A Bare Truth Poem by Romeo Della Valle

A Bare Truth

Rating: 4.0


I am in the present perfect
Where I have always been,
Finally reaching
Something of my own
Which makes tomorrow
A day worth following...

As I rise with the orange glow
Of an enterprising ideal
That is too ardent
And possessive to let go...

I may be unknown and alone,
But the real one is ready
Apart from here
And has become part of the world
I am striving for...

Separating the many
Halves of me
And sorting them
Into the infinite good or bad
I am most likely to succeed...

The Cause is the ideal,
The ideal is the principle
And the tempter's key
Which unlocks or fastens
The door of immortality...

I really like it! Abstract enough to be very creative, but not so much so that I'm left saying... Huh? ? ? Awesomeness :)

i like the first line very much i smiled it is like a grammar lesson but it is more than that you are witty and playful with words coming up with poems worth the time
