Wearing A Pretty Face

I've seen beyond those eyes before
not noticing their blue.
I've released my pain
in droplets, words
that often reign on you.
I try to wear a pretty face
dressed up for you in smiles.
But in my mind, my life is filled
with many endless trials.

I'm caught up in the more of you
the closer we are bound.
And steal the unexpected
where battled thoughts
are often found.
I'm just a shadow dreamer
reaching out in want of more.
In silence-soft, the words I write
I've worn for you before.

Those dreams I have, I wouldn't change
my path of love lies there.
I journey through my days till nights
not knowing
what I'll wear.
Constantly, I mend myself
in shadows, dreamer I,
to wear for you my pretty face
and hide those tears I cry.

M

(smiles) Now, slowly remove the seaweed of camouflage as you emerge fro your ocean of shadows and reveal all those precious smiles forever after! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, you always express yourself so well, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Maureen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Maureen, I just find this heartbreaking.... your ability to write feelings, and so much more, so skillfully is wonderful. It put tears in my eyes. You've made it easy to read between the lines, and, as someone said, I think we've all felt this at sometime. But, sometimes, the sometimes seem to last forever. But, they won't. There is  ever the rainbow
and the promise of so much better to come... God Bless....

Hugs and with warm regards.

I know this well, and you've expressed your emotions well with appropriate rhyme and mastered meter from what I can see.  This tugs at the heart and is a keeper~

Take care,

Damn! How do you know what I feel, and exactly how to put it into words? That's just spooky, Maureen...really strange! It amazes me sometimes how much we are alike.

Wow. I must say, this was amazing. I loved it. It was beautiful, and it had depth. The two parts I quoted really struck me, and now I'm thinking... thoughts I maybe don't want but need to face up to. Thanks.
