Is a keepsake to which we Americans are wise.
Her toga conceals timeless wounds
That once perhaps were lies....

thick with leaves
the shy moon
conceals its light
A thief in the night...

Clownish yaw engines
Spin us about
The blue sphere we inhabit
Its future in doubt

Our cumulus cloud shroud
Conceals the pain
Of tanks, missiles and pogroms
And unburied slain...

Violent despair grip me like an addiction,
love conceals it’s magic.
I stifle the cries of broken heart.
to silence it forever.
bury it, too fearful to hear it again.
Pitiful for wasted love....

His fifty sleazy shades he conceals 
Until his layout plans seal the deals. 
I wish I knew 
His greyish hue, 
I'd run, but too late - I'm over heels.

Willow wail
Through spoil storms
Trend is harsh.
Strength is right.
Glory grace conceals life's grief.
Our souls yearn for home.

Praise - Adore
your smile
it conceals the nude of your brokenness
with it half - torn raiment
yet it sparks 
sometimes yellow - white - brown
or a barren land of pinky bliss

wire-fur man, to hunters, a scarce watch
runaround trails remains the sassy catch
if only, if only... but bigfoot strides quick
wondering if found, we could ask what?...

This butterfly emerges 
A fragile beauty
With a pair of graceful wings
Yet her flight conceals a bruise

Night conceals

                 Dawn reveals

                                Day glorifies:

                                                      Light!

midnight has struck
joy into sin
shame like a veil
conceals where I've been

a bird in a cage
free from freedom
and all it enslaves

wings clipped
to keep me from harm
all would I give
to fly in the storm

Creation Conceals within Conclusion
Returning home, alas, long forgotten
Alone no more, an entwined surprise
The essence of one, unseen, a Delusion
The presence of self, unknown, begotten
Together no less, an unwounded lies...

With what emotion
does she peer with wide green eyes
as her two hands cup her face?

Behind those hands with
nails painted a vivid red,
she conceals an impish grin!

I gaze upon my woman
at the softness of her skin.
It conceals a greater mystery
and a beauty that's within.

It's true she's getting older. 
The wrinkles will appear.
But I'll be here to kiss them
till they fade and disappear....

Lady Love Under-Over-Sideways-Down..

I miss the sun sparkling in your eyes, the moon glow of your skin 
the air, as fresh as your shrug that conceals 
all pain matching my acceptance of my fate  
I can feel the breathe of yesterdays saints...

mid darkness blackest 
view embossed in brilliant depth
hued covenant light
~
caged environment
ruptures midnights fall surreal
dark bright light conceals
