Best Facade Poems

Pretending to be a friend
Verbal daggers they extend
Their true colors are now vibrantly seen...

Mirror, mirror on the wall ~
don't let me fall for a narcissist's words
for fear I'll find myself tangled in the web
of silk threads cunningly spun to lure me in. 

You might take those words to heart...
A narcissist is needy and compared to the sun, 
for...

She wears
a dark façade -
a charcoal grey
once hot like burning coals.
Consumed by too much passion
she was scorched.

Too long
she has smoldered.
Her dark façade
is cold now. . . and brittle.
She fears that if you touch her
she’ll crumble.

She gazed into their eyes. The people she has loved all her life, blinded by a facade of people that surround everyone. 

The girl she danced with to their favorite songs and held as she went through pain. The friends which whom she gossiped with...

Im not one
to die for
but to die
10,000 times

You don’t know me
I don’t know myself
Maybe one day we will

Will know

Theres nothing to know
Theres more to me
than myself
Theres more to you
than you

Behind this façade
We are...

They say I’m rich.
My head held high and swinging hips
belie despair
nose in the air 
denying thoughts of childhood demons
that lurk deep within the creases
of my conscience.

I turn outward for
accolades and tainted praise
to validate my living,
but harsh words like stones 
bruise my dark skin. 
Yet still...

The façade of content that you see
Disguises a brewing pot of misery
Hidden deep inside his empty soul
Devoid of passion that life has stole

Making love only to his left hand
While she sleeps beside another man
The pale, impression from a wedding band
Discarded inside the bed nightstand

Seeing his...

Cool charming look
Bubbling like bonbon brook
Alas! ‘Twas bait with much hook...

chaos elements of normality
insects buzzing in lamp dome
reveals alluring mouths

he breathes out a photographic desire
the contact lenses pops out
caught in pink mesh stockings

black curls colored bluish by the sunlight
like the children's drawn doodles
no shiny surfaces

Chilvary met it's demise
Once the words "I Do" was declared
And his diamond cuff was secured
On her left third finger with care...

To be spoken silently
In that unpleasant tumult 
Lurking behind the facade
He does not suspect in what wild fear
He'll join with her in a fatal play
Thus he sees his life as 
an outrageous fortune 
Like thunder shuttering orisons
The demented contempt of a puny mind
Repudiated into self...

Its a story of an ambivert
The charade lively mingler personality
She was an acumen
The amiable heart

But she had another face
Shrinking violet persona
A soul who was forsaken
A creature who was ostracized
The spirit who believed that she was the most unlucky mortal
The one with the silence

Maybe she was...

"Poeta Nascitur Non Fit"

Hated decades ago
Accepted a decade ago
Glorified now
To the extent 
of what we are horrified by

Painted tainted enlarged adjusted
Altered lessened sculpted tatted
A misrepresentation of our creative space
Now you are different if you are not

And the crowd screams, "Vive La Difference"!
As oath breakers call...

One need not know her life story
to actually know this woman.
Her character is quite clearly
Sculptured into her youthful hewn
Face: her flawless forehead and arched brows
bridge atop two mirrored blue pools:
Eyes that conceal lies that somehow
besmirch her most precious jewels.
Her celestial nose turned upward
suggesting a pretentious...
