Facades Poems - Poems about Facades

I say the word and feign a Freudian slip From between its legs duplicities drip Often doubling as a quip and tasting chalky, just a bit History will record the troubling truth that I never existed if I don’t submit I’ll submit this thing as if it’s a soliloquy while being transparent with reverse psychology When transparency is brutal it packs a...

My Grandmère and I have long, gossipy conversations, where we fall into our own chatty, slumber party rhythms. She’s met or knows everyone important, and people tell her things. They DM her or whisper secrets of lives ordered but loveless, of careers choked by excesses and indiscretions. She gets stealthy, leaked business reports of purported fortunes gambled and lost or...

Bird with feathers of fire, phoenix metronome, bursts on the edges of the atmosphere. Crumbling to dust, ash and powdery bones, fore a chance never truly appears. A velleity is made at her shooting tomb, deities will not honor this wish I fear. Her diary, her historical tome, inferno makes disappear. She was never here. Heart and spear Arrow flange Beak tip Cupid Supernova shot in the dark Earth...

Artifice-cultivation Cracking pitches, up at bat Impactful, this journey to fame Reacting, claims to my own name Control, my poison cup So let go as follows untying the knot Wading through crystal water Unearthed root systems Free, complete...

Masques, ruses, and facades ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Be careful don't be fooled by smiles and facades Of false interest and concern The deepest wounds inflicted are by those most beloved It's truly no way to live, too many place themselves beyond it The brutality and betrayal of those centered in themselves A daily shedding of blood and fleeing of souls They were once beautiful, now...

Decisions, decisions' Oh, what will I wear today? Should it be the blue shirt or Red? Which tie goes well with the gray? With so many options to select from. Which one will it be? How should I appear before you- What should I let you see? A variety of both colors and styles, In pants, and shirts, and shoes. These allow me to present...
