An Illusion
Beautiful..
Is in the eye of the beholder,
but sometimes..
I think we’re blind.
we miss the beautiful in front of us,
that isn’t so hard to find.
It’s not always clear?
But it was obvious..
or so I thought.
Beautiful is something natural,
not sold or bought.
You see it on the billboards,
those beauty things..
order them from pages in a magazine.
But the beautiful that I speak of,
isn’t in ads or on the silver screen.
Beautiful..
is in the eyes of a lover.
the sweet smile of a friend.
It is something that lasts,
and true beauty never ends.
I don’t think you quite grasp it,
I don’t know that you understand.
Beautiful is something,
I will be happy to show you,
if you’ll trust to take my hand.
I wish I could see now,
what you see through those eyes,
and that all the things you said were true.
But unfortunately my own truths,
don’t work for you.
For I know,
that Beautiful is an illusion.

Thank-you for that! I feel honored! You have a real talent. These will be appreciated by many. Keep up the good work :)
Thank you. Last one. This was written while sitting in the sun at Starbucks on a lazy afternoon with a friend.
People Watching
Calm and casual,
a soft smile behind my dark glasses,
A little laugh in the background,
as someone strolls by.
Non-judgemental,
but judging each one,
decide what they do,
read their stone faces,
they avoid eye contact.
So impersonal.
All guarded in small but certain ways.
It’s always the same **** thing,
people watching,
just the days are different.
Sometimes life can be so real,
and other times so surreal.
Opposite ends of the spectrum,
colliding with the same rhyming sensation.
The world is rolling around,
spinning like a sphere on my finger.
I bet some are just dizzy.
Don’t take offense,
to my secret smirk.
Don’t take offense,
that I see you and laugh.
Don’t take offense,
that I’m in your space.
Don’t take offense,
that I just walk away.
Be offended that you get what you ask for.
Be careful what you ask for.
Hmmm….
Calm and casual again.
Smiling again.
Behind my dark glasses..

You’re very welcome. I always give credit where it’s due. And yes, I know the feeling. I write a lot of poetry myself.
You should make a little booklet ,copy write it then publish it at least 25 of them .So far what i have read is worth publishing ..Very good.
I have to say that your poems are deep, the kind you feel in the heart. Thank you for sharing so I had the chance to read them
Thank you much.. they happen because I love..
You can tell it within your writing, keep at it…and they are right you should look into publication. your passion may make you famous

Silent Screams
Sometimes..
I scream in my mind,
all silent,
all emotion,
inside myself,
crying out so loudly,
it turns my voice hoarse,
my eyes red.
Sometimes..
my heart skips a beat,
and for only a second,
it gets pressed snugly,
by something I feel deeply.
And it hurts,
then it quiets itself.
Thankfully..
It happens when I remember,
and when I’m just breathing,
and when you come to mind.
Or..
as I’m watching the sky,
waiting for the rain to fall,
to conceal the tears.
And then..
I busy myself by talking to others,
and suddenly you’re there,
though only in memory.
Again..
my heart skips a beat.
Suddenly I’ve stuff to do,
things to decide,
people to meet,
stuff for work,
plans to make,
my attachment to dreaming shattered..
But..
rather than leave a stain on your memory,
I walk away,
no one the wiser,
no one can see,
the emotion I can’t allow,
to rise to the surface.
Hearts and words touch lives,
in every single person,
and we hang on each word,
if only for a second,
but the touch was felt.
even only..
just long enough..
to hear me scream..
inside myself.
