You can see me
All of me outwardly
But when you smile
You got me inwardly
You got my heart
You captivate my soul
As I smile you back....

Outwardly I may seem like an outgoing guy
But if the truth be known, I'm really quite shy
It's all a big act
To counteract
The shyness I've had since to a grasshopper I was knee high...

Easy to get along with
except with myself

Kind and supportive
to everyone else

Gentle and sweet
in everyone's books

But being me isn't
as easy as it looks...

Concern for friends & family,
Taste of love expressed outwardly from the heart.
Worry not?
Impossible journey,
Who can escape?
Emotional element missing?

World of soul-less beings,
Image of God not found within-...

With less and less affection
It can only move in one direction

Every time she cries
A little more trust dies

Outwardly not much shows
But inside she already knows

Ignorance isn’t bliss
When sealing lies with a kiss

Vanity and pride are my prison
Inhibitions bind and trap my desires
Relentlessly striving for perfection
Greatness eludes my every move
Outwardly concealing my inner turmoil

Like smoke rings or the clouds aloft
My love for you floats quiet, soft
Undetected outwardly
It lives and thrives inside of me
Until the day decides to come
Where you and I will be as one
Said love now soft won't be that then
Unbridled passion will be when...

To suffer thus 
Outwardly steel 
Absence of fuss

Inwardly crumble 
Smile never fading
Tumble after tumble 

Solitary tears
Sear cold flesh
Release silent fears

Forget, move on
Tomorrow another day 
Forgot, gone

To suffer thus 
Is only human
like us...

Being Taciturn
(TASS-uh-tern)
By: Miracle Man
8/29/2018

She’s often outwardly taciturn in a group setting,
Opting to be inconspicuous, “Like a fly on the wall.”
Being attentive to others while mentally vetting,
Often, her shorthand is chosen method of scrawl.

The verse-writer

A blind optimist outfits revealing insights galore
Thwarts the swirling world and faith restores
Aimless existence outwardly alchemizes
A scoundrel,a seraph and a lunatic in him domiciles

Yet,the poet secretes abysmal anguish in privacy
Does camouflage a mental deranged stability...

My, he really is something, my egotistical friend -
Enigmatic and choleric he will be till the very end;
Youth, the loss of it, causes him no alarm, he's just so cool,   
Outwardly, creaky bones and all, he still acts like a young bull.
Keep going, old boy, I pray, till the next grandchild comes your way....

Storms of life happen inward and outwardly 
Together we will overcome their aftermath 
One step at a time, we began to rebuild our lives
Rising above total devastation and turmoil 
Much prayer must be sent forth as well because
Storms of life happen inward and outwardly

"smile"

as light reflects
smile with gratitude
watch the sparkle grow
let beauty show

when darkness shadows
smile through burdens
feel such stress lift
see life shift

unfold blessings outwardly
release weight inwardly
smile through highs and lows
touch all rainbows

Quite fortunately,
There's unseen beauty in ugly things.

And altogether fascinating,
Unrevealed mystery in every smile.

Just as a treasure is hidden,
Not every purpose is outwardly intended.

The smoothness of a road doesn't always gurantee a safe destination.
Sometimes, it's the rough road that leads to the strongest direction....

Margin was short,
minute and hair breadthed,
he smiled outwardly,
and inwardly grimaced,
hid the inner pain,
and buttered the whole main,
His lordship came forward,
quite ingratiated,
waving hands,
he conjured an ace,
of his grace,
which now began to race,
lordship had obliged,
had the margin hedged,
he came out with a winner's badge....

You

You are the tranquility in my heart, my summers rain

You brought back hope and the warmth of love where desolation did reign

You looked inside my mind to find the real me

quite unlike others whom only see outwardly

You've never tried to change me, your always so gentle and kind

to not see the rare gem that is you, I'd surely have to be blind...

Bluebird turns my heart around
Bluebird turns it upside down
Inside out and all those things
Bluebird does when for me sings

Winks and smiles added in
Do them for me once again
Little snippets what a treat
Bluebird sits in my front seat

Of and for her I would do
All I'm able, tried and true
My love for her in secret lives
But outwardly on tiptoe gives...

Outwardly I love the outdoors
Internally I hold resentment

I hate the loneliness
Despise the isolation
Loathe the alienation
From the rest of humanity 

There is no escape
As one is incapable of flight
15 minutes to the nearest business
And 15 more to public transport 

I mutter to myself
As I wander this overgrown weed
That some refer to 
as a garden...

Nothing matters more
than you know how to enjoy
what you are
or think you are!

Outwardly or inwardly
you may be a mess,
you may be a total ass,
but if you know
how to see yourself as such
and yet still
enjoy the irony of it all,
then you have the secret of joy!

This is all that Spirit asks of you,
expects of you,
demands of you…

enjoy what you are....

When youthful wings have taken flight
 and golden age has made her plight

 Inside remains our same strong soul
 despite the fight that takes its toll

 Though outwardly we slowly perish
 in our hearts it's God we cherish

 Hope stands stout to bring us through
 His hallowed love is all we'll pursue

 Until faith's sweet and final kiss
 ushers us on to eternal bliss...
