Best Behind The Veil Poems
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 some do
despise your poetry, too.
While you dream of the goodness of man.
He goes sleepless, in your defense, doing
all that he can.
Nobody will listen to him, in their expensive
pajamas.
But then, they are soulless, possessing
no trained nashama.(soul)
Thank God, for a friend so abundantly blessed.
Who far surpasses any meagre, friendship test!
Both evil and good, exist in man’s veritable soul.
My friend, is one, so courageous, hardly a gross,
self-seeking, popularity mole!

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.
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 and unicorns oh what a flurry of bliss
See I know you have self-pity a cacophony minds mix
Something awful and strange brought peace to your being
And it puzzles me so to see you standing there breathing
I really don't know why this happened to you
But I feel for you buddy even when you are rude
Making false accusations about nonsense, a ruse
I know something is wrong so stop hiding the truth
I can see all the way through you all the way to the roof
Where the shingles are hanging not a drop left of vermouth
Let me in for a moment, let me see, I won't bite
Just to glance at the person whom I reconciled thrice....
behind the veil of unending sky
a sparkling face of glorious Universe
a beautiful Queen within
million of galaxies' spin in rhythm
dances with celestial white noises sound
flushes an ecstatic heartfelt grin
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
from this cup of passion
and compassion for you.
Never to be experienced..
Beyond 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 fires removing the smoke
Kindness rides in on wings of love
Peace appears as promising rainbow doves
Finesse and poise arise with divine grace
Signifying that America has kept her pace
Wisdom born through the sacrifice of time
Harmony is the gatekeeper of rhythm and rhyme
Unity
Holds the hourglass
Of time in place
One who ventures
Away to chaos is defaced
Carole Cookie Arnold
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.

Suppressed behind this afflicted excuse of a cover up
A hurting young lady lies
Afraid to show her face to the eyes,
eyes of the man who hurt her
And repeatedly told her she would never be nothing in life
As her preceded to rape her
Stripping her of her dignity, as she was losing all her sanity
Her hurt filled screams of fear
Followed and accompanied with the streams
Of way more than just one tear
never seemed to move this man
Who’s breath reeked of bud light beer
Who’s eyes tattled about the weed he had smoked just hours before
Which was slowly tearing down his body
As he compressed himself on top of her
Taking her precious virginity,
Innocence she would never get back
Just so he could go and tell his homeboys “Oh I hit that”
Now this young lady feels alone
Afraid to open up to another
Another victim who has the same story
Who could help her through
And possibly get her in church to kneel by the alter
Kneel and ask God to give her a forgiving heart
So one day she’ll be able to forgive this
sad specimen of a man
A man who has her alone and scared
Afraid to show her face, because of what these
Judgmental people may think
Not knowing the truth, The truth that lies behind
Behind her undried teary eyes
The truth she decided to cover up,
after being raped and feeling unclean
Hoping it will help forget the mean and ungodly things
This sorry excuse of a man did to her
She never played the fool
Just went by the rules
Being a player in this over-rated game of life
And yet she is a prisoner of words unsaid
Left searching for peace inside herself
Dealing with the feelings and emotions deserted and trapped in her mind
Her heart full of madness and slowly taking over her mind
When she thinks to speak, She stops and remain silent
Silenced by the thought of him holding her down
With her body exposed
Now left trying to leave the was
To start with the right now
But is still left imposed
With looking for someone
anyone
To blame.
behind the veil
you never answered back
tears still calling
or praying to forget

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 this veil
This face of war
Leaves her trail
Inside these walls
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 is the drive, and to drive
You gotta set your mind straight!
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)
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
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2020)
your gaze hides a love
entrenched deep within your heart
peeking through the veil
a shy glance that holds my world
like dahlia blooms all seasons
