Old tis. But ugly?
No human facade
This town displays!
What stares back at me
Each shop front from out
Lures in; always.

Pain stitches the smile
Facade that becomes a mask
Strings hold the pieces
The invisible not seen
But the blood makes it okay

Just a Facade

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

The forces of nature are odd
So is that why we invent god? 
Our deity’s norm
Seems to be human form
And reflects this silly facade

When your thoughts stir the air 
And a smile overtakes a grim facade 
Stand tall, face the breeze
Thanking the waft that is your lot

Your Contentment, My Console

Let me ease my bottled pains
By igniting the beauty under your facade, 
For i have deprived myself of that
But live to feel it through you.

The faces of January 1st
are the same faces 
stamped December 31st.
Flat-gray-soulless...
like AI-generated voices
or the facade of a computer screen.

The bane facade 
of that vermin

Over

his piercing eye

Oh how captivated

Premium Member A Real Facade

I flouted my knowledge ostentatiously,
But I found no one cared what I came to be.
It’s not the façade they wanted to see,
They just wanted to see; the real me.

Living the Life

The thoughts,
Outweigh the actions.
Broken down,
Becoming fractions
of what they are
But i must put on the facade,
Chancing being betrayed.
Dancing in a freak show

To the Stage

Darkness takes over just before
The dim lights shine on my balloons
A happy facade MUST appear

They protest to not be a drama queen
but just can't wait to jump into the scene
Pretending to be a friend
Verbal daggers they extend
Their true colors are now vibrantly seen

Mission Santa Barbara

Mission's bold facade resembled
Latin temple quakes have trembled.
Fine facade was reassembled.
Use new priests grant.
Native singers great assembled.
Praise songs they chant.

Smiling, I cross the facade.
Mottled, the evening violets
wane -- into a subtle fusion
of smoothly muted grays.
A thin sheen of water lies
fallow Upon stone cobbles.

Premium Member For the Sake of Aesthetic

Artists hold back a lot more than their potential alone. 
For they feel if their tears are ever spilled, their pain revealed: 
Their facade, of being as fine as their art, will be ruined.

Premium Member Facade

What's behind your well groomed facial hair
Pretend not to have a single care
Whiskers that hide scars
Moustache handlebars 
Detours to avoid the barber's chair

Azimuth

As daylight transpires
I peek whilst marveling
If I shall ever procure my stance
Everywhere I may tread
Along the astral patterns
Sagacity reclines
Though eyes may never see
Beyond the facade

Birdcage

Forced me into the birdcage
nervous while plundering
The lash around my neck
result of blundering
Awakened my wrath 
vigorous equally thundering
Lost in panic, 
facade of a dervish wondering.
