red
rubies rubbed
with rays of the
rushing roulette
ridiculously ruined
by running to
reason requited
for riches wronged
but rare

Will someone please help me?
I'm begging you on my knees.
Give me some inspiration,
'Cause darkness is all I can see.
Someone lend me some courage;
There's a noose around my neck
It's itchy and scratchy and always at mind
the thought of the end
Sounds simply divine
I've got it all planned
But if you'd give me  hand
Maybe I'd start to live again.

Façade colored with
The brightest colors
Yet, they look lackluster
Every year a fresh coat
Making it a ritual
To paint away the yesteryear
When blemishes appear
Once the colors loved
Now, fade away from memory
Layers upon layers
Trying to hide realities
Fault lines and cracks
Making the walls weaker
No one cares anymore
Not time to sit and ponder
Colors can only hide temporarily
In the long run
Even the brightest colors
Will fade in front of, true colors
Façade with discordant hues
Trying to wipe away
The discordant world
It may take years, or generations
But façade will be exposed
