If Only We Could Turn Back Time

do you remember way back when
golden pleasures of simplicity
the magic of human connectivity 
it all seemed unpretentious then

Silent Night Holy Night

Silent night, holy night
Such a sweet carol
Neither rousing nor stirring
But moving and inspiring
A carol to unite in adoration
A song to touch the soul
Poignant and joyous
Holy music at its most powerful
Simple and unpretentious

Self-Fulfilling Hypocrisy

In making seem true what is pretended to be,
     hypocrisy can be unpretentious
          in fulfilling itself in ways grim
               and hideous.

it is a mask that eats into the skin and flesh,
     so quietly gnaws at the bones 
          and sinews of the wearer's 
               face.

Of Storytelling
Life experiences,
Convictions

Imitating no one
Truthful to myself
Not trying to impress you,
Or anybody else.
A healing goal
Process
For both.

were romance in the equation

there's someone for everyone
or so they say
beauty being in the eye of the beholder

when i look at you
i see your unpretentious smile
the amiable twinkle in your eye
the hand you extend to strangers

i hear the kind words you give us all
i feel the warmth of your touch
i see the compassion in your heart

Where the Wildflowers Lay

possessing an endurance,
they stood trembling,
proud
but unpretentious,
and strong enough
for summer storms,

the petals
delicate, soft,
listening
to the winds
without judgement,
the lovely flowers
greeting each day
welcoming you,

in meadows
they don't ask
for attention,
they simply decide
to smile
in their 
own moments.

Vintage Cal

I attended the funeral of a friend 10 years ago.
It was by far the most unpretentious of funerals.
Notwithstanding, it was real, vintage, and genuine.
The face of the funeral looked identical to my friend.
The body was well done, but I'm speaking of the character
of the funeral itself. Like my friend Cal, it was the real McCoy.

Self-Fulfilling Hypocrisy

Hypocrisy, you see, can be truly 
      unpretentious
in making seem true what is pretended 
      to be;
but it fulfills itself in ways quite grim 
      and hideous;


it is a sticky, gooey mask that eats into 
      the flesh
and skin, quietly, slowly gnawing 
      into the bones
and sinews of the wearer's hidden, 
      real face!

Attitude

Always in euphoria, swaggering in conceit,
I see myself absorbed in work and ideals.

Embedded in cultured mind frame,
Starve myself for the epicurean feast,
I stand prejudiced with excessive self esteem,


Saying goodbye to intolerant stance,
I get off my high horse,
Tune myself to unpretentious attitude !!

Real Face of Hypocrisy

hypocrisy, you see, can be truly unpretentious
                in making seem true what is pretended to be,
but it fulfills itself in ways quite grim and hideous;


                it is a sticky, gooey mask that eats into the flesh
                                    and skin, quietly , slowly gnawing at the bones
                and sinews of the wearer's hidden, real face !

My Mother

They were my mothers’,
those pale blue eyes,
that silver thinning hair
tangled in her comb,
that soft heart filled to burst with love.

They were my mothers’,
these unpretentious clothes,
this costume jewellery, these artificial pearls,
ersatz emeralds, 
these diamonds in her crown .   .   .   cheap glass.

But her heart, her sweet translucent heart,
O, her heart was made of light
wrapped in the golden arms of God.

The Beautifuls

Do you think of me at sunset?
I sure think of you
Both you and it are gorgeous
Equating both the two

To things of utmost beauty
There's nothing much higher
One's a pretty lady
One's a ball of fire

And in the silent setting
My heart cries out your name
Wanting to be with you
My longing soul aflame

Another day is ending
Unpretentious, slips away
And like you and the sunset
I yearn for both to stay

Woman

Her approach was elegant but unpretentious
Her soul was weaved in moons and stars
Her gardens enchantedly flourished
Her brooks danced to wind guitars.
Her fingertips stirred the rivers 
Her whispers spoke peace upon the earth
Her smile illuminated the darkness 
Her hands fought death and welcomed birth.
Her eyes held and calmed the anxious
Her heart was filled with twelve bright suns
Her language was universal
Her name was given... Woman.

True Hypocrisy

In making seem true that which is pretended to be,
                 hypocrisy can truly be 
                       unpretentious 
              in fulfilling itself in ways grim 
                         and hideous.


 It is a mask that eats deep into the skin and flesh, 
           gnaws at the bones and sinews with 
                         nary a trace,
            eventually disfiguring the wearer's 
                              face!

Ghost

The Ghost in her past haunts her in her sleep,
With fleeting, mocking images she should not keep.
Each night He ghoulishly waits for his invisible hold,
Sneering at her unpretentious heart of gold.
 
He unveils lovely, sweet memories of days long ago,
Then across her body an icy wind begins to blow.
He holds her captive with a voice in her ear,
But she wakes up smiling, now she has no fear…

Ego

Ego

Can one compose I, Me, Mine and Myself?

Are you unpretentious  hanging on to your
Ego?

Dualistic personalities is it the beast? A seeker
of pure pleasures? Guilty until proven innocent 
Amongst your peers.

Digging in the dirt is it the devil inside ?

Animal instincts reviewing  the situation at hand
Sends chills up and down one's spine.

Complexities  of the human personalities conflicts
between the I'd, Ego and Super egos

What's In a Smile

What's in a Smile? Written: by Miracle Man 1-4-2019 Her smile has a subsequent afterglow, It expresses to others what words cannot say. Though at a diametrical crossroad, her face is aglow, And she renders a smile regardless of her day. Her smile, is a substitute for unsaid speech, And upbeat and funny is generally her game. If she were a fruit she'd undoubtedly be a Peach, She's unpretentious, sweet and always the same.

White

Good bye it says with a mute prayer
 as I close the door, it’s white  
It quietly whispers from the walls 
words of wisdom  
Hush it puts me to sleep 
the last thing I see 
before I close my eyes… the ceiling, 

Its virginity urges me to put my pen to paper
and the spaces amid words form poems.
Its rival, black… sinful, gloomy, self-centered
but white is unpretentious…
ubiquitous in absence of colour
yet willingly gives in 
when hues want to enter.
