Shandy Potes-Mangra Poem
All those lies,
The creaking on the stairs
Glazed fixed eyes
Upon scuff marked boots
My abrupt croak,
Droned-out by sudden humming
From the refrigerator
My voice falls,
Pitched to the floor
Like suspended in time
To look upon these photos now
Hold nothing but false pretenses
A mirrored hope,
To escape for plummeting slopes
Our roots untouched lay
Fuming in collective dust
Along the many volumes
None would ever breach
Poisingly I held my chin,
Towards the cupping sun
Lapping in all it's warmth
Knowing with just two words
I'd stop the flooding dams, "No More"

Shandy Potes-Mangra Poem
She's split amongst the two
One a girl unheard of,
Few see little from
Who gawks at the slivered moon
through blotchy eyes,
Welled up tears as big as moon pies
The other a girl who holds up her fibs
Conjurring by magic,
A cloak to mask the lies
Who catches tears before they slip
Neither bangs or pursed lips
Can hide the sadness in her eyes
Both are placed with broken wings
She pulls her head together and flies
ME; this one note she sings

Lies
Deceitful, intrusions
Your spinning webs
Masquerading about without masks
Deception

Shandy Potes-Mangra Poem
Public opinions that
Undermine the ground on which we walk
Bedeviled only be enticing jeers
Emotions that are vexing are laid-out with a cuss
Ranting & raving "The world is out to get us!"
Taking in sustenance over parental spiels
You've not forgotten how it feels?
