Conceals Poems

Indigestible

...My heart is a pelican beak.  
Opens wide but never sings.
Conceals what the tongue cannot survive.
Drips salt from truths left unchewed.
A pouch tucked with fishbones,
straining to sift the indi...

...In the depths of silence, thoughts flow like underground rivers,
where the moonlight stops to rest its weary wings,
and time seems an illusion, a grain of sand lost in the hourglass of eternity,

Gotcha!

...Tingly skies full of surprise oh how I love when with surmise,
the little rascal aims his dart as if it were, poetic art!

He conceals behind the blush of day,
nips in, then dashes back away

The Ground Beneath Our Feet

...Deceit's bitter taste lingers like burial rice cooked in familiar space
The sharp edge of betrayal cuts deep from within, a wound that never heals
Innocence fades like pencil marks erased as life's...

Pandora’s Box

...You are a prisoner of your own mind,
Chained within a cell,
That binds your thoughts,
And conceals your head.

Your mind lacks the fortitude,
It needs to b...

The lies they killed us with

...They starved our bodies of love 
Then complain how our bones shake in fear
They strip us of our dignity 
Then glare at us when we jave nothing to wear
They take our souls 
Then question when the...

In the Arms of Darkness

...Night wraps me softly in her arms,
Whispering secrets, weaving charms.
She cradles echoes in my chest,
A quiet breath, a gentle rest.

Her cloak conceals my hidden scars,
Each one a story trace...

Heart By The Lake

...Life is a rollercoaster of emotions
Once you are happy,
In a blink you're sad:
Or in a glimpse of a rage memory, 
you'll feel at lost, 
regretful of the past. 

Our mind's a spring of feelings...

SHE IS MUSIC

...[Verse 1]
She walks in like a quiet flame,
Soft as dusk and wild as rain.
A rhythm not heard, but known by heart,
She tears the silence gently apart.

She is music, the kind that heals,

...Melding with silence, formless soul presence feels,
soundless thunder, the sound of one hand clapping,
borne by bliss magnetism, touch divine that heals

THE PAINTED GRIEF

...The laughter rings, a hollow sound,
Across the painted, cheerful ground.
A mask he wears, a painted smile,
Hiding the tears for a little while.

Beneath the greasepaint, shadows creep,
Where bu...

my soul in foreign lands, forgotten 1

...
The map unrolls, a skin of dust
where landmarks shift like whispers lost to a gust.

I trace a fracture, jagged, unfamiliar...
place where my phantom feet wandered, chillier
than memory allows...
