Best Conceal Poems
God does not play a child's game of hide and seek
You will find Him standing at the side of the meek
Do not search for Him behind a stone temple wall,
but He will hear your prayer when on Him you call.
Though His reply may not meet your expectation,
trust that He will guide you to eternal salvation.
His Holy Spirit is manifested when you're in need,
He sits at the banquet where on His Word you feed.
Inside a cavern is a place God would never dwell.
His presence is felt on mountain peaks, in each dell.
His home is the Heavens. Invisible to you He may be,
but you can find His hand in everything you see.
He abides in my conscience when I'm about to stumble,
and though I have free will, He helps me stay humble.
I hear Him asking me, "What path do you choose to walk?"
Fatherly advice, for I am a sheep in my Shepherd's flock.
When I read Scripture it's as if I'm listening to Him speak,
and I've felt Him wipe away tears flowing down my cheek.
He elicits every beat of my heart, for He gave me breath.
and He will be with me at the moment of my death.
Never, will I be worthy to look upon the glory of his face
for I am just a lowly daughter, and far too commonplace,
but I feel His tangible bearing when I need Him most.
Seek and you will find* that He is real, and not a ghost.
Since the time God created man and life had begun,
He's had no reason to conceal Himself from anyone.
From His all-seeing vision, none of us can ever hide.
These thoughts I believe, and in you I piously confide.

*Matthew 7:7
Draw back the drapes of those tenebrous clouds
for my eyes desire a glimmer of the pallid moon.
Sullen shadows of night, her beauty enshrouds.
Covering her faint glow is a sin, I dare impugn.
Lustrous is her light when emerged in the night,
as pale as the alabaster skin of my love's cheek.
A pearl in the sky. Passion's flame she will ignite,
reflected across waters in an aura of mystique.
Without the moon, my soul would mourn, bereft.
Her splendor worthy of lyrics written in musical bars.
I would write a sonnet for her if my hand was deft.
Even though her hue is wan, she outshines stars.
I'll not weep for the moon while her light wanes.
I'm aware that it's just a phase, and soon will pass.
Then, comes the time when her luminance reigns
and billowed nimbus will turn aside for her. Alas!
If overcast shadows choose to darken the skies
let them do so to offer shade from the sun's heat,
but never allow them to conceal from my eyes
the trysting place where the pale moon and I meet.

I will whip out my hot gun,
You hold the barrel, have fun;
Stroke with your finger,
Then pull the trigger
And hit the target anon!

There's nothing you could say to me
That change the way I feel
I adore the friendship you bring to me
That makes your heart feel real
The subtle way you gaze in me
So well it makes me heal
But to preserve each moment gracefully
For now, my love
My heart I must conceal
What superficial concepts these are? When we are neither here or there
When we conceal our hearts, when we hide elsewhere
We claim to be invincible
But we aim in that to maim
It is straight and true
Who among us should take the blame?
But why dress up what we say? Being dishonest with self
We must be honest in all we do, as we approach the proverbial shelf
We should strive to be transparent
To be explored by ourselves and others perhaps
Guarding and mystery will change little
Of what is plainly visible like symbols on maps
Daniel: From Socrates, Plato, and even Hannah Arendt
The stars fell and told me that you are heaven sent
So listen to me Denisse Laranang, my dear
I cannot sleep lest I say it here
Denisse: Just say your word, a word so true
Coming from the mouth of a guy like you
Be a knight who will not scorn
Feel free, like the first of doves in the morn
Daniel: My heart beats wildly because of a voice
It was like a feeling of buying new toys
For it being magical and love is felt
Totally, you capture what mind couldn't have dealt
Denisse: Is that what a Philosopher ponders?
What about love, how I wonder?
It flatters me though
There is something I also want you to know
Daniel: What is that my most beautiful maiden?
Is something concealed so that I will hearken?
Your existence is my essence Denisse
And every second is my thousand years
Daniel: A heart never fails though the mind dictates
Such a feeling my heart palpitates
A feeling I would never conceal
That this humble man will certainly kneel
Denisse: Such a confession pierced me truly
Let me express that my heart is ever ready
This moment, you cast all my fright
The same way I feel about you my knight
What do you do when the storm rolls in?
You hide in a raincoat and a plastic grin.
How do you bear the lack of light?
You just smile and nod, you don't put up a fight.
When your angry or hurt, can anyone tell?
No, you just keep your happy face on and survive through this hell.
I know that you cannot tell what is going through someone's head.
Their eyes may suppress the story that won’t be shared.
I’ve learned that there are a lot of hidden messages around you that some may call foreshadowing, and no one takes the time to look.
I discovered a secret about the comments made by strangers.
That are there to make or break you.
I can tell you that there is beauty in the tiniest of objects and it is not obvious.
I know that you should never make lemonade when life give you lemons, bake a cake and keep people wondering how you did it.
I have learned that there are a few people that look at a situation with an open mind
No one thinks the same
I know that some people lie to make you happy, but in the end it only hurts.
I can prove to you that criticism is worth more than compliments.
I have learned that you emerge from the failure that causes you pain.
The kind that frustrates you and makes you want to get this right.
I know that the roses don’t grow in every weather, but the thorns are always there on the shrub.
I discovered that a painting does not have a thousand words.
There is an infinite amount that no one see.
I have seen how fast strangers turn to friends that turn to enemies.
I have noticed the hidden smiles that people fight so hard to conceal from the ones they need.
I can feel the insults that are said behind others backs.
From people too scared to claim their words.
I’ve known the people that make things their business when it isn’t, and they get nothing in return.
I know that there is always a light, even in the darkest nights that seem gloomy and dull.

Your love
Conceal not
Trump Spiel On Weapons Conceal
What Trump has said was a short spiel,
On why all weapons we should conceal;
Dormant brain,
Without a grain,
And amendment we do need to repeal.
Jim Horn
You constant friend,
A presence that seems to never end.
You come in waves, you come in force,
A relentless feeling, a brutal source.
You are the thorn in every rose,
The cruel twist in life's repose.
You are the wound that won't heal,
The agony that we cannot conceal.
You steal our laughter, you steal our joy,
You are the darkness that we cannot avoid.
You are the ache that fills our hearts,
The burden that tears us apart.
But even in your deepest throes,
You are a reminder that we still grow.
For pain can teach us how to heal,
To find strength that we never thought was real.
So though you hurt and though you sting,
We'll learn to rise on wounded wings.
We'll face you down, we'll stand up tall,
For pain may be a friend, but we are stronger after all.

Miss Conceal
I do everything not to feel.
This weight is way too real.
Too much I can't reveal.
Just call me Miss Conceal.
You may have seen me sitting quietly,
Or you may have seen me flash violently.
Most times I'm kind, soft spoken and sweet.
Others I'm searching for someone to defeat.
My love for family and friends,
Runs deep and it never ends.
If you hurt them I'm ready to fight.
You'll be my prey I'll hunt you all night.
I'm just as nice as I can be.
My smile I wear for all too see.
I do everything not to feel.
This weight is way too real.
Too much I can't reveal.
Just call me Miss Conceal.
Control is what I crave.
It's best if you behave.
Take my advice for your sake.
No one wants this demon to wake.
If you need help I'll lend a hand.
Hard times and struggles I understand.
I'll give you the shirt off my back,
Help you get your life back on track.
Take me for granted and you'll see,
How dark, cold and demented I can be.
I do everything not to feel.
This weight is way too real.
Too much I can't reveal.
Just call me Miss Conceal.

Conceal this
trespassing against me well that’s on you.
getting caught up makes me a fool.
leave it alone because what’s the use.
when another will come to.
getting mad cause we don’t stick like glue.
the issue i’m trying to pursue.
it’s nothing personal
just a phase and i need to be discernible.
i’m certain that i get what i give returnable.
So it should be no hard feelings.
i just need to conceal this.
i’m able and willing.

The universal consciousness,
conceals infinite whereabouts
unknown
Our nightmares obscure
memories of multiple dreams
and fantasies ...
If everything were revealed to us
all sudden, if all was said ...
many of us would not desire
even have been born ...
A Warrior in Conceal.
In a room stands tall a mirror clear,
Revealing a reflection that deceived the world with a smile.
When I recognized it, my eyes poured out a tear,
And it was clear that the reflection was mine all the while.
It asks my nights of silent tears and struggle,
To expose the truth my false smile would never reveal.
It showcased the unspoken love under my heart's rubble,
And unveiled all my wounds that time could never heal.
My reflection speaks: "Accept and learn to heal,
Don’t run or hide, but face the wounds you bear.
I'm proud of you, a warrior through conceal,
For in your heart, gain strength to face despair.
Next time you stand before me, let me feel
A reflection, freed from past wounds, and completely healed."
