What Lies Beneath Rambling falsehoods of radiance Should mirror mimic foolish lies Verifying the ignorant illusion Glimpsing the made up face It hides the one God gave Seeing not the diamonds But the dirt that surrounds Missing the halo of gem That the far- sighted can not see As clean hands merely brush surface Yet my shadow, my silent witness Sees through what should be obvious And holds you on highest pedestal For picturesque beauty is not in reflection It glows below skin and cell Shimmering the aura from heart It is what lies beneath Marina Nov 28/2000 It is a blessing to have wings for words, and passion in pen Marina Crossley |

Yet my shadow, my silent witness Sees through what should be obvious And holds you on highest pedestal For picturesque beauty is not in reflection It glows below skin and cell Shimmering the aura from heart It is what lies beneath ================= hey you...so nice to see your name here and way cool poem girlie... your muse is getting all cryptic and wise on us  many truths here my friend... it tis what lies beneath that matters ... well done poet later-lovely aura gator jm Sprayed across my heart and hers Danced butterflies in the wild This angel, this woman , who loves me with the innocence of a child. ~DeVante~ |

If I may? It is indeed what lies beneath. . . and it takes a special someone to see beyond. . . and know the heart. . . This is an excellent poem. . . one of your best. . . ---------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

A walk on the deep side with you This is excellent writing Marina and gives me a moment to pause and feel your words and take them to heart...what lies beneath...that is truly where what matters lies...always a joy to see you posting!! The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched ---- they must be felt with the heart~ *??* |

I have to agree with Martinque. It does make you stop and think. Not only of what lies beneath the one that you're speaking of, but of what lies beneath your own surface. Wonderful Marina. passion is life. . . ~Diana |

Marina this is just superb work. You should really submit this one to the main site. A very interesting and thoughtful read, well constructed with great "flow" to it!!! As you can tell, smiles, I enjoyed this one tremendously...hugs, and more of the same, if that is not too greedy of me? |
