Short Epitomize Poems

true feelings 
concealed craftily
beneath the sheath 
of saccharine psyche 

fragile fantasy 
of self sanguinity 
fostered
by colors 
of chameleon skin

spurious emotions
sprawl surreptitious
pretentiously 
paraded skillfully
away from 
edge of reason
epitomize deftly 
camouflaged ego

True feelings concealed craftily
beneath the saccharine sheathe,
toxic fantasy of self items fostered
by the colors of chameleon skin.

Sprawling spurious emotions,
pretentiously paraded skillfully,
away from the edge of reason,
epitomize the camouflaged ego.

Butterfly Goddess,, I am in awe of your talents
of your delicate beauty and flying prowess
You exude strength and epitomize femininity
I watch you from the safety of these elm trees
Wishing I had half of your dainty delicateness
I wonder if you have spotted me, and perhaps
If you might be a bit envious of my yellow eyes
And my carnivore-friendly claws and teeth?...

Always in the limelight
Cheerful and bright

I find you as wonderful
As you are bountiful

Yellow dots swaggered
Here and there scattered 

Like a child’s laughter
You epitomize summer

Dandelions wild and free
You are beautiful to me

Forever ignored in the confines of your void,
yet my prayers persist undeterred; unalloyed.
I smile knowing I've actualized the test once more;
the realm of my dreams, a canvas to your lore.

Truth and illusion meld to create the Shadow Queen's tapestry.
The canvas of reality itself; the lore of insanity.
In being nothing, her subjects epitomize the call.
That is silent strength and loyalty, within her kingdom's hall....

Midgeted paws gently experiment 
with the silken whiskers of their maternal dynamo
  
Dabbling with the conscious but succumbing 
softly to the confetti of uninhibited dreams

Rejoicing in a triangle of togetherness  
Basking in the periwinkles of space and time
 
Under a backdrop of light and optimism
   Enjoying the nuances of peace and temperance 
  
Their unified thoughts epitomize one harmony
Each sending a message, don't ever leave me....

Awesome absolute of childhood exaltation - 
Balloons embed dear youthful memories within. 
Fascinating, joyful, colourful inflation, 
Promise rock steady future on a thread, so thin. 
Symbols of free and careless years of Truth or Dare, 
As marvellous in hand as magic in the air. 

Balloons epitomize a pristine paradigm - 
Short stretch when we believe in "once upon a time".
