Bubba likes his fill of pie
when he courts the public eye.
If not for one dress
not one little mess
would mar his effortless lie....

Beyond imagination,
Jasmine!
A Marilyn Monroe
Among flowers,
Blonde sensual appeal,
Love’s sweet nature
Aroma for life,
Essential oils,
Born to spread fragrance,
Symbol of beauty
Whispering infusions,
A passionate breeze, 
Enchanting perfume,
Bringing happiness,
Drifting into the night,
The most seductive scent,
Of her time,
Inspiring the public eye.

He was gunned down 
   as were many in the public eye 
He was murdered 
    and his legacy 
must sustain us 
   There are few 
with such courage 
Unfortunately . there are 
   few able to 
  be free from bigotry 
I, myself have found myself 
full of hatred for those 
   who look or believe differently from me 
But I struggle to fight off those feelings 
   Hope you do too
Brothers and sisters...

A green rose I send to thee
on the wings of a bird set free.

With it comes my deepest desires,
that burn in the midnight moon on radiant fires.

Your secret mole, hidden from the public eye
flashes in my memory, dancing on ambers as if suspended on wires.

My drunken leprechaun, you intoxicate me with your lies.
You only want to amuse yourself while I take a green wee.

The Mask
By: Miracle Man
10-19-2018

Sometimes I fail to recognize the man
That hides his face behind a mask.
Who prefers the periphery (And being alone) over the public eye
While finding no task too daunting to attempt;
But behind this mask,
Lurks the face of an angry man; 
Most days this man is filled with compassion,
But depression constantly tells him he is worthless,
To fire back and “Take no prisoners”

Where ever she goes the cameras loom.
They're on to the scent of her perfume.
She sucks the oxygen from the room..
Forever in the public eye, all daily movements scrutinized.
She must dot all x's and circle her y's
Transparent as a bronze gold fish.
Isolated, observed, on a petri dish,
craving for some privacy, a daily wish..
She pulls up her quilt and sleeps until noon,
aware of the face she'll be wearing soon.
She sucks the oxygen from the room....

A Silent Prayer 
I am a silent Prayer. 
When I am in the public eye, not like the hippocrites, who 
love just to bee seen strutting and muttering, with 
ears all open wide to here the people say OH l()()k ewe 
how devout? I am a silent Prayer and this is my silent prayer. 
Oh LORD, please l()()k upon my heart when eye cannot open mouth. 
I ask and have no doubt. This is my silent shout. 
I ask in Jesus namme, I ask again, Amen. 
I ask for ALL mye love....

Here in our world where other’s actions don’t make sense,
We must hold onto faith and never let go of what we believe
Not let others in the public eye tell us what to think or do
It is time to stand by what we know to be the truth!
Live our lives as best we can, retain righteousness!
Be all we can be, to contribute positive things anywhere
Nothing is too small, as every grain of sand creates the beach
When the wind blows, let us fall just where we need to be
