Facades

by Keku

Life spent looking through windows
Much time wasted staring at open portals
Colorful existence grinds down to soul
Obsession becomes reality, as reality becomes nil

Exceptional beauty parades through the day
Night time veils
As mouth is sewn closed; torture is friend
Morning once again the butterfly dances
Ropes twist so violently

Oceans roar and become tiny frothing bubbles
Days, weeks, months spin uncontrollably
It all passes too quickly
Life is a façade do we not see
Hold tightly emulating tiny seedlings

The beauty now is viewed in rages
Jealousy turns to tears
Stain glass turns milky and opaque
Window becomes further from view
For what we see is not always what we get

Life is a great façade
The ocean is crystal clear, no longer hiding its victims

    Dear Rose,

    Thank you for reading my poem. My life comes out in my poetry. Once I wrote a story or poem, I can go on.

    I look forward to hearing from you again and I also look forward to reading your works.

    Regards,
    Keku (Laura)

Thank you for the introduction! I really enjoy this poem. "Life", indeed, "is a great façade".

    Hello!

    Thank you for taking the time and reading this selection.
    I am happy you enjoyed my poem.

    "The grass is not always greener on the other side". What a true statement.
    There was a princess who was very beautiful, rich, and married a handsome man. She had everything.
    During the day she paraded around town in beautiful clothing and the most bright smile one could muster and waving to everyone see seen. Everyone in town envied her.

    Night time was her torture and real life. Her perfect world was not so perfect. Her handsome sick husband would burn her body with his cigarettes and she was not allowed to scream. Not touching the parts of her body that were exposed.
    He warned her to always put a big smile on and dress your best in town, for if she didn't, and he found out, there was worst in store.

    So yes my friend, life is a facade!!

    REgards, Keku (Laura)

      Whoa! My only reply is this: my latest poem, 'Weaving Destiny' is for you. Take care!
