Afraid his wife would be mad
In the Kremlin’s palace walls
Prettiest dolls he’s ever had.

A Demon That Hides

Fear is a thief stealing into the future,
the past its lot to pawn

A larcenous demon that hides in the night,
from the gallant, intrepid—and strong

Trump Has Two Sides and Hides

Trump Has Two Sides and Hides

Trump we have heard has a second side,
And no one can ever trust or in confide;
Color of hair,
Would not dare;
Became so bad and each he has to hide.

The Title Hides In the Tides

Over the shattered, surf scattered shells
her feet are cut, bleeding as she reaches
for one still whole to enfold. 
Inside an entity pulls back, alive 
she knows, thinking to toss it, 
instead wades into the surf 
gently sending it home.

Premium Member Pretty Santa Hides Out

Pretty Santa hid out with the candy among the candy canes.
He liked being gorgeous and being the one with the brains.
His elves were looking for him, but he stood perfectly still.
They ran right past him, yelling “Have you seen him Bill?”

Woman Hides Man

In a woman such a man hides;
Alike, He rimes better with She. 
More sense, She makes with He. 
 
Because she embeds him; 
He always consults she,
To produce clear sound; 
And engender one great power in unity.

Poem by Mugisho N Theophile

The Night Hides Stars

The night hides stars explode silence waves in malls consumers stare into lights blank 
pupils a poet loses his words to rock-stars and rap-stars clutching crotches smiling gold 
scarred in oils van gogh rots in his grave his yellow fades fields of grain

Premium Member She Hides Her Truth

She hides her truth 
she uplifts them all
showing them a loving nature
compassion parades into their lives
thanks to what she has suffered
she hides her truth
burdening no one
until she cannot take it any longer
suicide seems to be the only way
shocking them all

She Hides

she hides behind the moon

and stars

and sky

I don’t know what to say


dew at dawn on spider webs

sparkle around her neck

like thousand

strands of diamonds


she whispers to the wind

I hear the leaves talk in the breeze

but I don’t know what they say

Premium Member Peace Hides in Quiet

Written: June 21, 2025, for contest sponsored by: Mark Toney Checked by HMS.COM / 10-6-7-7 *********** There is a place where my feet—often stray Not sought, but swept retreat. Beyond the known—cold, complete— Truth hides in peace, soft and fleet!

The Culprit Hides

Determine who
the crime will profit
and you will find
your man

Fortune baits
perdition’s wolf
with larceny
in hand

Behind this world’s
ill-gotten gains
and lurking 
deep within

There hides the culprit
long surmised
who wears the mark
— of sin

(Dreamsleep: January, 2026)

~~~~ He-Who-Hides~~~~


"He-who-hides" just snuck out the damn door
Leaving a list we just can't ignore.
Put the customers on hold
So we can do as we're told.
Oh! the joys of working in this store.

Hides a Secret

In each of us
hides a secret
a whisper that we've always known
a fact
a certain telling
we curl around at night
Gods greatest grace is balm enough to open
up that curl
to stand
soul shining
and share with someone we love
to show who we are
without fear and then 
to see
the same in you
I see you

Premium Member Anger Hides

Anger hides
Behind a gentle gesture
Shouting
How
did you let
this happen
You are there
I know it
See it
In flashes of sadness
In your eyes
In snarls of frustration
On your face
I know
You are present
Lost
In a synaptic maze
And so I search
Angrily
For a way
To find you
To free you
To love the you
That you are

Nobody Runs, Nobody Hides

Nobody runs, nobody hides.
The element of love may not be described.
Not fire.
Not earth.
Not water.
Not air.
It becomes all and none.
Consumed and consuming,
Enveloping, enriching, a hiding place,
Embracing, mutable, a thing of tides,
Vapour, the stuff of breath.
And yet we welcome it.
When it comes,
Nobody runs, nobody hides.

Darkness Hides

Come with me,
Come and see,
Come through the trees,
Where darkness bleeds.
The black of the night
Hides what should be unscene.
Fear inside,
Gray, cloudy skies,
And no lies.
Hearts that beat,
They happily meet
But then fear strikes inside,
Then darkness comes alive.
Run away now,
Run and hide,
And wait for darkness
To peer inside.

When Love Hides Within

When one allows emotions
To dwell deep within
They hide from the surface
They hide from you my friend.

Did you except them to run free 
And show you their marks
What if you mistreated them 
And left even deeper scares.

Noone knows better than I 
For I nursed them on days of no end
I had to promise to be real careful
If again they allowed me 
To ever love again.

As the Sun Leaves the Stage

The sun sets 
like a solo performer
Her soft gaze
Captivates the audience 
She never had to rehearse
She's done this before
Knows the script like the back of her hand
The silent director
leads his final scene—
The starlet takes her bow
She kisses the ground
All her color leaves
As the ending nears
The earth stands still
She hides backstage
Never hearing her applause

Premium Member Evil Hides In Sight

Evil hides behind a suit; perfectly dressed and coiffed it’s a pretty display that covers much rot. Its hate and greed are obvious reads but, often mis-interpreted by the desperate. Evil has its party; serving sour hors d’oeuvres to its guests; by the time they leave, they’re brainwashed. Predators prowling; Devouring prey, teeth rip flesh; Everywhere carnage!

Premium Member October Hides

An Autumn rain teases the roses
Splashes within cupped petals
Challenges the lone bumble bee
To pollinate the late bloomers

Chipmunks grapple with wet acorns
Leaf armadas ride the rapids
A lone goose questions its choice
Children know what the puddle’s for

October hides behind next Sunday
Readying its cornstalk mazes
Spicing up its pumpkin-ness
Adding its scents to Fall’s colors

The Water's Tender Surface Hides Horror

DEAD are these fathom of times by change; lies
of not tongue but heart, nay, soul as dead coral made
as now ocean die and her pearls wilt and destroyed
by poison of mankind.
All fades by that terrible hand called Mankind.
As doth suffer the sea-change
uncoiled and spoiled by rich and strange.
 Sea-nymphs SCREAM in tumultuous toil
singing, "DING-DONG.
LISTEN!  HEAR WORLD -- DEATH!"
