Such Are Some Faces

Such are some faces.
Some to mask one in public view.
Others display,
Who they are.
Regardless whatever mood or attitude,
To have it known,
Their identity is not a charade.
That masquerades a choice to choose.
A doing done.
For the purpose...

You Are The Very Best

My need is not to leave you unhappy.
I want more for you to feel appreciated.
Even though I may some days,
Act as if you are around to exist...
To satisfy my impulsive selfishness.
And I can only admit,
You made it easy for me to do this.

Singed Fingers

Noticeably hidden.
Once accusatory,
Pointing now singed fingers.
Attempting to prevent it seen,
The rising of fumes...
Behind their backs.
With wishes to want,
Not to attract...
Their doing witnessed,
Intentionally attacking the facts of...

Incapable To Evaluate

These times to overlook,
What our actions impulsively taken...
That innocently affect unnecessarily,
Those of ethnic diversity.
Immigrants and sinners.
Not pure of having 'alabaster' skin.
To depict them by their appearances...
As the ones to...

Unsolicited Advice

Unsolicited advice,
Given to give it.
Is easier to do.
Than it taken to consider,
The price to pay to get another opinion...
Coming with a price,
Heard from someone...
Thought to be more qualified.
Yet less honest to provide,
The right...

LOL...Thank you jackg.2631 for commenting on 'Said To Say'. My poetic submissions can be not the easiest to interpret. I remember my mother telling me as I was a child, 'Do as I say. Then one day both of us will understand what I've said to you means!' There are times when clarity is not meant to be explained. Especially if to come from someone else's point of view.

Hi, alexw.30385, thank you. This poem is more a reflection of myself. Yes. Many years ago, having interests in the performing arts, taking lessons in this and that. I loved to sing, dance and play baseball. I began taking acting lessons. Yep! Thinking it was easy. As I grew up, I was told my own words to say, was not accepted. I thought 'this' was acting. Now I realize how difficult it is to make look easy. It isn't. I don't say 'Yes' to anything anymore. Until I know exactly what's involved. Thank you again. Lawrence

Kendal? Your 'One Tomorrow', in my opinion, is fantastic. It's simplicity say more than your words express.
Inspirational it is! Thank you. Lawrence

Hi, Kendal...as I age and grow older I've begun to realize we may all appear to have different life experiences. Yet, how we feel inside?
Is familiar. lsp

Thank you, Dianejean 57. Your poem, 'My White Dove' is very interesting. I have experienced seeing 'Morning Doves' They are kind of golden brown in color. I am told Doves appear to people who are peaceful and blessed. But few are familiar with 'Morning Doves'. Almost like a Rose most perceive are just red in color but are not. I really liked your poem. Thanks again for sharing. Peace/Blessings, Lawrence

Hi, Soul_00. Very much dud I enjoy your comments. All of us who are 'fortunate& blessed to witness these times. Have been given the freedom to both 'imagine and obsorb' what to us is presented. Yet, so many believe to assume, they can rule and control over what is happening. To have been deluded and fictioned historically. This experience of life we have, is not of our creation to decide which way of life is best for everyone to live. Thank you once again for your comments. lsp

Chris? 'Wrapped Up In You'...is brilliantly written. From beginning to end. Yes! Within your expression so much you allow to confess just how you feel. After MANY years of my own poetic writings, I am only recently unpeeling to reveal what it is deeply felt. Easy I've become to realize isn't easy. Thank you. L
