 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

Cheating Ourselves

By Terrence michael Sutton, www.PoetryPoem.com/aussiepoet    Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime



It's more often our very own fault in life
That we never know the best of love to be..
Conditioned by what we'er taught in life
By life others who lack but teach of destiny..

An open mind the greatest door to knowing
Thinking we ourselves we know whats best..
Feeling we know what could be but do not
Not allowing fate our souls to pass each test..

Religion being earths greatest sin in all time
It too gives us needless weight in life to carry..
As it also prevents our souls from letting go
And that perfect love we mostly never marry..

How can we be our own student teacher too
If we never trust abandon of being loved so..
We need to turn out the lights close our eyes
So our souls feelings can loves perfection show..

We judge always with physical material eyes
Deciding what we want rather than whats best..
Exotic heights of love that does exist we prevent
Our choosing age earthy looks monet kills the test..

If the sun was to turn black we'd be better off  true
If for a night in a crowded room all naked as born..
We would be more loved than we ever dreamed  
By the time of the sun rising and following dawn..

With only feelings and touch instead of eye sight
We would know loves ability to have us really know..
That there is a love that we've been longing for
After we would not settle for less upon earth it's so..
