You paint a perfect picture.

Full of firey reds
and deepest blue.
A sprinkle of gold
adds the final touch
to this masterpiece of 'you.'

But I've learned my lessons well.
Between the brush strokes,
the color choices,
the vibrant subject,
and opinionated voices.

A deeper inspection finds
a glaring exception.
The missing shadows
and darkened hues.
A blackened soul conveniently
hidden from view.

Deliberate?
Most likely.

Deceit is your brush,
vivid lies fill your pallete.
A habit common among
those whos veneer
is as thin as your canvas.

Big Time

so I did not make the big time
I was deemed to come up short
my feet would not dance just right
that's what it said in my minds report

my choice of song left wanting
my voice not strong enough
and probably much more than this
these thoughts right off the cuff

disappointed **** right I am
I inhaled the smell of the crowd
for one short moment I came back to life
my soul screaming out loud  

see I can do this I really can
I have so much more inside
though not an idol or a star
but I refuse to hide

hey I'm not raising sour grapes
they did give me a chance
and though I did not show any fear
this glass of wine spilled on my pants

next time around I'll give it more
I'll pretend I'm Fred Astaire
or maybe even the Dancing Stars Max  
feet flying everywhere

I'll sing just like a bluebird
not screech like my backyard friend
I'll be the Phantom of the Opera
I must believe this is not the end

Gomer LePoet...

We all desire
that certain euphoric fire
I want to capture the rapture
the bliss is what i miss

A downers kiss
its comforting caress
comely?
-Yes
A sensation
insensible,
immersing
sinking
earthing,
to use?
perception of muse;
loving affection correction perhaps.

Sunrise
Drizzle
hope
Dismay
drought
engulfing drowning
of confusion

was it all an illusion?

My love for you as a person
was taken
but was braking-broken
you left me choking

I thought we were spurting but you spurned me
Hot
It burned me
Just a bit-
I’ll heal but i’ll never reel
why you feel no feel
I want to heal and be what can only make your light shine bright.
Just declination of the satisfaction
of what used to be correlation- happiness to me.
