"facades" poems
Out of lemon flowers loosed on the moonlight, love's lashed and insatiable essences, sodden with fragrance, the lemon tree's yellow emerges, the lemons move down from the tree's planetarium Delicate merchandise! The harbors are big with it- bazaars for the light and the barbarous gold. We open the halves of a miracle, and a clotting of acids brims into the starry divisions: creation's original juices, irreducible, changeless, alive: so the freshness lives on in a lemon, in the sweet-smelling house of the rind, the proportions, arcane and acerb. Cutting the lemon the knife leaves a little cathedral: alcoves unguessed by the eye that open acidulous glass to the light; topazes riding the droplets, altars, aromatic facades. So, while the hand holds the cut of the lemon, half a world on a trencher, the gold of the universe wells to your touch: a cup yellow with miracles, a breast and a ****** perfuming the earth; a flashing made fruitage, the diminutive fire of a planet.

Ode To a Lemon
I am adept In the art of being okay I have mastered the craft Of covering my troubles I use all sorts of fancy facades Acrylic, oil, watercolor You name it. I can paint over nearly anything You will never know How late I was up last night Or why. My eyes flicker Like candlelight But you couldn’t see You couldn’t possibly see I’m too good For that. I can dance, too Waltzing away my sorrows Carefully tip toe-ing the Pas-de-I-am-fine I get a standing ovation every time I’m very talented, you see. But my all time favorite Is my disappearing act I’m still perfecting it Right now But one of these days I’ll show you How I Slip Slip Slip Away Right through your fingers.

The Art of Being Okay
Her shadow Washed in sin, covered in blood Oh, what a sad little dove Festering secrets, slathered in shame Purity poisoned, life to blame Born unwanted, a mother denies Behind the shadow of our eyes His shadow In dynamics Of dysfunctional dismay Lost in secret family shame These emotional contacts delay That we carry 'til the end of our days Cast in stone, in foundation of lies All these shadows behind our eyes Her pain Painful memories of long ago Though, I know, I must let go Triggers upon the aching scars That burns within an injured heart Full of fear, in the wake of lies All behind the shadow of our eyes His pain An unending twitch The fast fading smile The ever bleeding heart Of a broken lost child Carrying stones up endless hills All these issue we're forced to feel And stuff them down, way down inside Behind the shadow of our eyes Her darkness Hidden is a blacken variant Attached with unbreakable sealant Of life's destiny, from the gods Concealed amid, evolved facades A mind, compartmentalized Behind the shadow of our eyes His darkness Desensitized to life, empathy left poor Bottomless abyss where my spirit now soars Love is a dream in my abandoned role The pieces won't fit my wandering soul.... The window to a soul hides Behind the Shadow of our Eyes

Behind the Shadow of our Eyes (Collaboration with Traveler Tim)
Glide your fingers down the railing As you make your grand ingression Meeting the faces you are destined to meet As they fasten their first impressions You are one to worry what they think And wonder how or why But, know that they have trained themselves To create facades and alibis They would be just as scared as you If they were the ones walking down that stair So hold your head up high, my dear As if you did not care

Self-Confidence
And now there would come a time a swift sharp clock on the bed Blaring its little chime in between the hard bells Like an angry little arm Charming if not for the alarm And everyday I slap the face of it Like an unwanted ***** And she is silenced Quick unlike Said chick But I am a cruel guy and have no sense of wet and dry Nor cool or heat There's nothing bothering me Time just ticks off and I laugh at it But my cells divide and turn into little old protoplasmic men And yet I am not called upon them Because they are stupidly designed and I have no sympathy for arts and crafts No masterman who failing to raise his hand Clams up With such poor artwork Slap that ***** in the dilapidated sistan Now In San Francisco Where the alley streets stink of *** And the European facades are just that Crumbling Poopy And full of **** And what yet are they dreaming to be? The church that survived fire Great conflagration God didn't make a rainbow at the end of that, Now did he? He's a water-sign Dolt And water only jolts your mind When it scatters true light, Ain't that right? But it's all the same Just different hues And the news Isn't new Just Blaring and yelling And speeding television crews Riding their stories Up and down the many stories Trying to build a city of angels On a bituminous hill Shills No life skills And I walk the city streets with a ugly old leather Brief Casing the joints and rolling my own Unhappy and alone Kerouac and the dreams on the monangular input where the triangular avenues meet And he has no road While airplanes shake their jets on the tarmac and trebuchet into the air Going god knows where Seeing a new piece of the sculpted pinball Perpetually trapped in the machine How bout Nippon Or Hangujin Or Han Chinese Or Berlin Anywhere but when A little ways along the state Of "in" All these strange things

I can be you, or I can be them I can be she, or I can be him but why be a con artist of someone else like a shadow to my best friend, when I can be my own person, a unique creation created in the image of God but representin my own reflection because I don't wanna see you, them, she, or him in the mirror I wanna see me through my own eyes, 20/20 vision, but clearer but the more I conform, the image of someone else draws nearer and I begin to lose sight of myself, look back in the mirror, and see myself in the rear a shadow to another figure, a copy of a personality livin' out another person's dreamed out reality copying what they think, and succumbing to conformity but that ain't me.... what you see visually and how I appear physically is what makes me comfortable, that's why I'm an independent, politically I don't follow the norms and rules of what's most accepted socially the only commandments I live by are the ones given Biblically I ain't  the best saint though, I mean I do sin every day but the only one I wanna copy is Jesus Christ, in every possible way on the other hand, Satan is out there, trynna tempt me on how to act and even what words I say he's out offering me drinks, but I reply, "I'm okay" cause I don't care if "everyone else is doin' it" I just live how I like to live, that's what makes me a true non-conformist I dress how I wish and not because it's in style I keep my hair big, I do whatever makes me smile I'm not trynna impress you or fit into your clique I don't give women pick-up lines and act like I'm slick I'm me, just me, no facades, just real and if you can't accept that, then move forward but don't steal the things that make me special, from my poems to my appeal so don't try to change me and keep my uniqueness concealed I could care less about your thoughts and any of your judgements I refuse to give your words power, I can make your points become pointless I'm not trynna be harsh, I just love to be different I wanna be an original and keep my vibe realistic not a second you, but a first me, no counterfeit I try to keep up with what God said in Matt 26 verse 41, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak so pray not to give into temptation and stay on your feet I encourage us to keep our standards and what makes us unique and accept anyone else who doesn't wanna repeat everything you say, and everything you do sometimes it's the people that are different that come off the most true because they're not sayin or actin' in ways that you approve they're given you their honest opinion, you should keep them closest to you don't conform, forget what people want you to be just be yourself, not a copy of reality TV.

what if one day the truth finally comes out? for every lie uttered from every man's woman's boy's girl's lips, there is one truth. we see past all the facades on this day, and see inside their souls. we see we feel we know the truth. the lies (the cheap disguise) is finally gone. some will laugh some will cry and the world will be destroyed.

I am blind And I ain't blind To the different social classes And their faces I try and try to be impartial But my fears and preconceptions Give way to prejudice of thought Love and unity fill my mind Yet when its time To effect some change My feet quiver And words can't formulate I want to tell my brethren you are special to me and I love you just the same As anybody else But I'm scared of what he will respond Will he reject me as we are not the same Will he embrace me and bring forth a seed of change I am blind And I ain't blind To the disdain classes afford one another Man threatens to discard the fact we're all the same So I wonder Can we look beyond facades Strip it all down to our core Don't we all want to feel the same Maybe we can toughen up and take down the ranks That impede us from becoming one-another's friend

Beyond Social Classes
*Inclusion: the action or state of including or being included within a group or structure Solution: a means of solving a problem or dealing with a difficult situation* **Now, is ‘inclusion’ the ‘solution’?** Is confiding not always in yourself, but being able to confide in people you trust: a group, a team, not an impeccably simple way to solve complications? Some people that dwell in isolation succumb to despondency and desolation and invariably, wrap themselves in a costume of facades. Inclusion eradicates these issues. We as humans want answers to our questions, resolutions to our complications; a myriad of different perspectives can quickly enlighten and open the eyes of those who truly seek a solution. Solution to what? Solutions to those “impossible questions”, Solutions to those “exasperating situations” we can’t seem to get out, Solutions to those “family troubles” "relationship troubles", "work troubles", most importantly, those “social problems”. Inclusion is no secret, it’s the biggest weapon we as people have. Inclusion gives all of its users the power to control. Inclusion is power, the real wealth beneath our skins. With inclusion, we have the solution. (d.b.d.)

Inclusion is the Solution
There's a private, invisible flock of comedians chanting soapbox knock-knocks in my parking lot             Noisy, clang, boom thingy aloft and clipping the air around the slimy snow And why does ajax keep butting its nose into everything I’ve got? They’re all just boom-lost facades in a canonical, sly-faced rant. So slanted, frankly, and poised toward a milder pace that the clang clipped the frosty branches beneath a drunken frat-house party. Ah, the dandy-clang : native to the sandy graves and morose olive branches.             But only on the night of the dandy-clang, candy dances for the branches are not partial to missed solid caches             of want and woe             of tongue and toe and seldom shaken beneath the overbearing heat of a white-faced predator for times it was that here and now, because the wind had bitten harder What am I saying? That if the dandy-clang came. And if it produced the branches of the dancing eve fame... with but not together. The clouds up in the ether that lake and earth should wither

I feel so confident behind these facades but in front of you I'm just a puddle under your feet I have a problem I can't concentrate or smile your way my self esteem is terribly low and the time is escaping me I'm losing all control but even so, you try to gather me up strong embrace and I'm shaking begging I need space in the pitch black I'm back to cursing my name I'm just a disgrace.. hopeless.. worthless.. weak.. timid soul

Low Self Esteem
*I'm smiling -- but at the back of my mind... Oh wait, I don't have my own mind. My sanity is replaced with lunacy. Ecstatic. Packs of delusional facades. Illusions and charades. Dreaming of nightmares within a daydream. Detoriating senses. *Everything started to fall apart. I am lost for words. For you had taken my heart, The day you walked that direction, opposite to what i'd took. One final look. Without any goodbye. I started to cry. And cry. Until it drowned all that was left of me--* Your memories. *My world crumbles. I cannot think of any word that would best describe this feeling.. These feelings.. But I cannot contain it. Not anymore. I cannot escape.* *So I will just fill these pages with-- Random letters.. Doodles. Semantics. Figures of speech. Metaphors and similes. Something only your heart could understand.

Take a look At this decade's eternal light. Youth, beauty, happiness. In theory. Is that how it was for our parents? Top tags on this website #depression #suicide #heartbreak Are grandma's photo albums fairytales Or has something changed Without shame Unmarked blame Just a change Perseverance died At the doorstep of sarcastic self-deprecation, Cool-to-be-lame facades, Glorified depression, growing vines on glowing laptop walls With a generation, fetal position, ripped jeans and eyeliner, inside Self proclaimed **** If you say it first Those twisted lips of others Won't press on such a fresh wound And here we lose the metaphor Cut yourself So everyone else Is picking at scabs No one would hurt another Who hurts themselves Unless they're an *** So the words are silenced Are you stronger? Happier? Healthier? And so we can always be safe In our self loathing Until puppy eyes and perfect pictures Leave us hungry Hurt by the people who don't mind being ***** Gaining assets, stealing rights from under Our droopy dismal noses snapshot Caption: **** up, let down, repeat. Hate me. -politicians and companies will bash your head on rock bottom Looking up in disbelief at chemical burns from Big Mac's We'll look back down to pout about our pain. The only way to save ourselves? Perseverance Positivity Hope Though I conveyed none of those emotions in this poem. **** me. I'm a hypocrite. But my point still stands. Perhaps even stronger.

I'm Scared, Scarred, and Scrooge-like
Dread the free time But still can't wait to have it To seize peace and quiet By my force of habit And flee far away From a central locale Of a jobless, impoverished Human garbage pail Full of wasted potential Unutilized power Another kid lost to disease By the hour Devoured from inside out, Parasitic A malnourished mortality Fated statistic Accounting for little more than A UN Detrimental development Index embellishment IMF, World Bankers swooping in Heaven-sent Millions lent Never spent Back on the people Just keep them like sheep Marching on to the steeple And reap what they sow How so little they yield Until cityscapes swallow up Forest and field And behind their most opulent Optic facades In their decadence festers The graces of Gods

Excluded
I flowed into the dark blue ocean of symbols. Just yesterday, I walked with heavy footsteps, well-grounded. But once again, an irresistible force lifted me. I wanted to see what was above. Then I came back, changed, less happy, a part of me scattered in that an alternative universe. Now, worlds overlapping appear, The sun is shining with different light. Words change their meaning. The fog thickens so, I can no longer see fissures under my feet. Step by step, carefully, I try to pass through a dimension of forgotten dreaming. I don’t want to be stuck inside an illusion for too long. Looking at my heart still glowing, devoured by some voices, bite by bite, crumb by crumb. They come in need, then dissolve like ghosts. How can one love, under the heavy weight of knowing— with Lapis Lazuli pressed against my chest? I don’t want to vanish into sticky spider webs into formal language that is too cold, too detached. Two forces fight inside me To see the truth, even if it hurts, or to close my eyes, and idealize brutal reality. Looking in the distorted mirror, observing love quivering on the verge. And thus, the Earth becomes the theater. The cynical facades ****** with pretended freedom, taking every hour, every month, every year, into PROGRESSIVE DE…HUMANIZATION

LAPIS LAZULI
Sitting in the dark wondering when will I find someone worth knowing, worth noting. You tell me that there are many, all around me and beyond, But you lie or are mistaken because all I see are mismatched people to my desires. I want to learn from this Her, To kiss her sweet lips, To render myself senseless by touching her body, To lose myself in her eyes. But it seems that this unfeeling Thing, does not let me get close with anyone, before I find their flaws and start pondering how to break their heart. It seems that I set my standards too high, or they have theirs too low, but the fact remains that I am betrayed: by dishonesty and cowardice, by laziness and greed, by stupidity and facades. but most of all: by the immoral, the obsession with nothing but pleasure with no depth. I am a confused and lonely thing, searching in the dark for a feeling Thing. what is this Thing I seek? Well dear reader, Nothing less than a good Heart. One to heal me, in return for being healed, before this hollowness becomes a shadow and swallows me whole, leaving nothing but a crass man, a cruel and callous thing undeserving of the veracity of Love.

Unfeeling Thing, Confused Thing
Here in the masquerade, plastic faces on parade. Truth refracted by our lies. Masks revealing what we hide. Beneath the mask, a painted face-- there is no truth that's not erased. We are what we pretend to be-- flaunting our complexities. We cannot undo the mess we're in; Our costumes now our second skin. We choose carefully our facades; We pay the price to act like Gods.

Letting other people's weaknesses, weaken you or you will remain weak; forever, positively; a negative. Don't let other people's facades live vigorously through you, or end up missing out on your own.

Fake:Facades
Somebody call Ben Affleck We got phantoms in this ***** This endless haunted mansion Their presence pervades No company In this lonely labyrinth Only phantoms The only figures resembling humanity Are the corpses of those before Who couldn't navigate this torturous structure And of course, the masquerading phantoms My soul they aim to puncture I tried closing my eyes But I just kept running into walls I tried sleeping through it But I just sank deeper into the basement When I attempted to join the phantoms You were there You waited until I was hanging there On the rope And eviscerated everything Lycanthrope The rope in shreds Your heart then fled Leaving me alone again Lying in my exhausted blood The phantoms sensed my desperation And took advantage of my disorientation So I ran to the darkest recesses of the basement To retrieve my blindfold and sledgehammer But is my hammer powerful enough? Will visual impairment abstain the trickery of ghosts? I put Sisyphus to shame With the determination I utilize to demolish these walls But the phantoms are devious They ***** new facades Thicker, sturdier, with odder textures I destroy them all the same It just takes a bit more time And time means nothing To a man who's sole purpose is knocking down walls And cowering from apparitions Yet a man means nothing To a time ruled by phantoms

Phantoms
scuttling across the valley, the trench was deep and steep scorching heat of the dry sun, dried blemishes on the weathered skin. Settling along the rocky facades, hackneyed by the haunting past. Sleepless nights of the perching predators, Hibernating in aloof worlds . Stymied by the wind in the barren land , Harnessed by the futile fears. Simone Melchoir of the sinking ship , would not you go down with the fault. Shunning away from natures affection , for every rose does share its thorn . Sunny ends are reached , when the raging ravines fade away. Slithering away the swirling serpent , The sun lurks in the brewing storm . Sanctity of the witheld winds , sapping away the deathly darkness. Serene air of the seraphic angel, brought the plighting dreams to the refugees repose Smelting ores and melting poles, brimming with brightness the cradled cirque . Summons of the exalted virtue , To burn the lizard and fly away like the phoenix Succumbing to the wilderness, to soaring heights and rising spirits . Swanking in the soothing winds, the phoenix looked down on the plundering valley. Scorning at the downtrodden spirits, The fraternity of the Desert lizard
