Cannot Hide the Pain

How many times must I endure,
my own sweet refrain, my beauty predilection,
the guise of all this pain,
when life beckons stark reality, regardless;
the grit of struggle an discrepant lubricant,
to the dim pleasures of superficiality,
revered often and debased by few, including myself.

Pleasures carnal can be an instrument of harm,
its razor edge a familiar bleed,
and yet love in its entirety, moves the world,
and the fullness of it, I have yet to find,
impropriety a waxing visage,
an underlying manipulation for insensible need,
the accumulating self to wholeness.

When has honesty gone,
does it even know of itself, cowering in some dark recess,
nigh used, let alone understood,
and I like any another, seek refuge in blessed intent,
nectar far more appealing than dark viscous blood,
freedom the epiphany, in chains the nightmarish tale,
all for an envisaged salvation.

I choose to wear my pain,
veiled by all I see in appeasement of it.

Hello my friend. This poem seems more like the honest you than the Song on your front page of souls and love makes everything ok Lies are not OK. Life is not all beauty and love. It is easier to get through a day fooling each other into thinking everything is hunky dory . I was a love child too, but I find that hatred, and lies, and bad people are real, and they hurt me. And I need to live with it not pretend it's beautiful. I am a fighter albeit non violent And I won't say evil is good. I love you, though.

Hey Lewis, how are you? Good to hear from you. I've been busy writing for the two poetry sites and doing really well. I'm collating my latest works for submission for another book. But this time I want to find an international publisher and try to break into the big time market. I don't want to be one of those poets that finds success after death. lol Hope all's well in Thailand. I've had lots of drama, with more sick rels, and both ex-wife and son moving, which was exhausting. I've had a lot of joint problems and haven't been to the gym, which I feel bad about. So writing is all I do, but it's yielding better results. Check our Writers Network and you'll see my latest work. Take care my friend. Talk soon.
