What Nobody Knows
What nobody knows
Is the secrets you could hide,
The lies you may hold,
The suffering you could mask,
Or the troubles of your past.
Looking at the serenity,
The calm and peace,
The perfect picture of you,
Would they even care?
Would anyone want to see
The truth behind it all?
Or would they be content,
Just knowing and loving the facade
You put on for them?
That seems to be the truth.
The irony of it,
That the truth is a lie.
They care not for the past,
As simple humans do.
They only care for the now,
And pay no mind
To what nobody knows.
Butterflies adorned the mariposa vines,
A diversity of jewels sparkled under the dim light.
But the attention was directed at the door,
For a nameless soul had entered.
The murmur of voices escalate
As the woman steps into the ball.
Thrice as beautiful as any other,
And a mask like no other.
The caliginous amethyst shade was
Freckled with small pure white pearls on the upper cheeks,
Silver boarded the edges of the gala mask
And ocean blue swirls met time in time
With the engraved green wings around the eye holes.
Laughter chattered as they pointed and judged,
But the masked woman was ignorant to the conspicuous gossip.
She elegantly floor

TO DREAM ON BUTTERFLY WINGS
It must have been the Moon that disheveled my Dreams,
in the morning I picked up the stray butterfly wings
they had left scattered on the floor, singed and still
smoking with the dust of the last dream I lived before
awakening, I cradled them in my palm and shed a lonely
cerulean tear for their intricate fragility expired,
but it was too early to mourn for what I still had...
so I put my newfound butterfly wings in a jar with
the skin of Stars and the iridescent scales of a chimaera
I had once befriended, I watched them glitter and glow,
so I opened the jar and watched them trickle to freedom,
filling up that space breathing between the Moon
She is chameleons,
bare-tree umbrellas
somewhere beneath
Autumn’s underbelly,
beside once-remembered friends
of once-remembered pasts,
falling fragmented in kitchen sinks
and cleaning bottles,
still
breaking hearts for puzzles,
still
bandaging wounds on tables
of answers without questions;
and she is still unknown
come next October.
I have a special loathing
for the quaint ceramic birds
and heavy soapstone bookends
that tend to litter the bookshelves
of the people who don't read
And I find unbearable
the open spaces next to
pretty gold leaf collections
of books that won't be read
I'll admit that I go weak
for a beautifully bound tome
but the most attractive one
is the book whose binding's cracked
with worn out letters
and stained pages
from being read

THE SOUL OF A SNOWFLAKE...
I unzip the seams of my soul and let out Winter,
her chilly chaos chastises tonight to give up her
solitude to the riot of white that reins outside
my frostbitten window, erasing Summer's fingerprints
and extinguishing Autumn's kindle, Winter looks
at me with the second sight of her arctic owl eyes,
and I know that there will come a time when the
moments of my remaining mortality will clink against
Eternity-Winter's lovechild-and I will come away
from the encounter one step closer to washing my
mistakes clean, until my soul beams ambrosia white...
Once I was lost, once I was unloved-even by myself,
but snowflakes shivered out of my pockets a
He really did change that day
More cynical and cold
And distant in a way
Gestures of kindness, became selfish acts
But he would roll with it, to keep his smile intact
He'll walk around in the dead of night
Alone going to places, where other's might
Try to understand, but they never do.
All because of a wish that never came true
He dreams of a day where his life could be light
But for now he is always Dreaming of Night.
