Poetry : Take Off The Veil And Live by Gaffass(m): 12:44pm On Apr 25, 2021
Take off the veil and live.

Take off the veil of belief

That robs and blind you

That you may see the mischief

That ends around you.

What did the stars believe in?

That they shine a dazzling smile,

And with all your lucency

Can't shine as bright as the lease.

What did flowers believe in?

With beauty so adoring,

Can your fashions and make-ups

So compare the very lease?

Why won't you be heartsick?

Why won't you feels empty?

When you just exist instead of live.

Belief that makes you maime and kill

Turn precious you to monster

Is nothing less than folly.

Take off the veil and live

That you may see the beauty

Craving for you to have

Take off the veil and live

That you may see the wisdom

laying waste within you.

Take off the veil and live.
Take off the veil of belief
That robs and blind you
That you may see the mischief
That ends around you.
What did the stars believe in?
That they shine a dazzling smile,
And with all your lucency
Can't shine as bright as the lease.
What did flowers believe in?
With beauty so adoring,
Can your fashions and make-ups
So compare the very lease?
Why won't you be heartsick?
Why won't you feels empty?
When you just exist instead of live.
Belief that makes you maime and kill
Turn precious you to monster
Is nothing less than folly.
Take off the veil and live
That you may see the beauty
Craving for you to have
Take off the veil and live
That you may see the wisdom
laying waste within you.
