Behind The Veil Poems - Poems about Behind The Veil

Behind the Veil of Smiles

Veiled smiles conceal a multitude of unseen woes~
inner turmoil, tear-stained cheeks,     and layers of distress all masquerade behind a mask of joy.

However, gleaming eyes, gilded and glistening, 
expose the truth that heartache’s hurricanes can not contain.

Behind The Veil

Like a thief in the night 
academia
wears enlightenment
as a mask
hiding its true agenda
— a stranglehold on the truth

Just Behind the Veil

Tiny rainbows appear
On the wall and ceiling
Each sunlit morning
Reminding me
You are always near.
Just like fireflies,
A gentle reminder 
Of the beauty
Of the spirit realm. 
Just like music
That evokes
The etheric.
Just like dreams
That linger
After we sleep.
Or when light
Illuminates 
Dancing leaves
On whispering trees. 
We remember
Our loved ones
Just behind the veil.

Wicked Queen, Her Darkness Hidden Behind Her Veil

Vacancy of high upper air, rarified ghosted hearts too.
Of frosted heathens in place, none are wearing mad hatter shoes.

Yet in her beauty she held this fast, mirror never lies
And now her worn-out lover has died, she just barely cries
Winter and her wanting a far much warmer climate here
She

Behind the Veil

Unknown to us are what we see, 
Each day brings a door before us,
To unlock, with its unique key,
Unknown to us are what we see,
We face It headlong or we flee,
Amassing the superfluous,
Unknown to us are what we see,
Each day brings a door before us.

Premium MemberBehind the Veil

Space flickers revealing what lies behind
Soft white light luminous
In parallel, we’re gripped in bliss throbs bind
Soma flow continuous
Magic of grace fortuitous 

The plot thickens as our third eye glistens
Crown and heart join the dance
Pulse of magnetic love beats quickens
Mingled with sublime fragrance 
With God, remains no distance

       Behind the Veil of Friendship

Your friend, walks very slowly behind you.
Seeing the harm coming your way. 
His sword out, he protects you back.
And you know nothing, you are not even 
aware of the coming whacks!

You have innocent dreams, that people
really do like you.
He knows far better, how bitterly

Behind the Veil

behind the veil
you never answered back
tears still calling
or praying to forget

Pseudo Allegory: Behind the Veil of Deception

If only for a moment you could let me inside
To see a great fortress, or hobbit hole where you hide
I won't be judgemental and play toying tricks
I just want a gander, see what makes you tick
Feel the pain of your sorrow, wicked past telling lies
Keeping you held at gunpoint by yourself stepped aside
Behold the rainbows

Behind the Veil

Hiding in the middle class,
I made my way through life

Looking like I had it made,
no struggle and no strife

Others couldn’t see it,
as it metastasized inside

A terminal metamorphosis
—hidden from your eyes

Behind the Veil

Much of the time we’re faking it,
the airs we put on most false

Impressions made and set in jade,
green onions the main course

Our friends change out with stature,
as silver turns to gold

An alchemist’s dream, the grandest scheme
—our hearts once warm left cold

(King Of Prussia Pennsylvania: January, 2020)

Lessons Behind the Veil

Its a hard knock life
When doors are closed,
Got me feeling like Neil
Before he became strong! 
And started Shooting at the sky...
For Dreams of the divine,

Moons, Now as I climax for my dreams.
To reach, first you gotta search!
For gold you gotta dig,
To begin, an end must acquire!
To start you must do...
To do is to will,
The will

Behind the Veil

Behind the veil. 

      Behind the transparency of blue
      I reminise of love past and lost
      Oh, how I loved you so.

      Behind The veil.

      How my heart over flows

A Glimpse Behind the Veil

A Glimpse Behind
The Veil


Sitting on the edge
 Of humanities tomorrows
Deploying weapons of
 Warfare that banish sorrows

Searching for land mines hidden
 As deep reminders of past failures
Disarming their explosive content
 Of captivity, giving all closure

Repairing damages to the
 Fabric that warriors wear
Battle has shredded its 
Emotional threads with tares

Blue eyes are the seas quenching 
The raging
