       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,...

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....

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...

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.

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...

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.

Concealed Behind the Veil
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...

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...

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

Premium Member Behind 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...

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...

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,...

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

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2020)...
