All The Faces

I have a face,

That you may see

But it does not compare

To all my others

Not one, not two

Nor three, or four

But many, many more

And they are all for you

Sometimes happy,

And other times sad

Sometimes angry,

But most times glad

That I have you,

With my many faces

As we shall soon journey

To all the many spaces

But as I have a face

That I may show you

Not three, or four,

Or countless more

Just one,

That is all I need

For you to see

That I am truly happy

Every person has many Faces but there is one face that does not change for anyone and that is the face of Love...... according to me love will give you happiness.

What is the face that we want people to see the most. What ever face that it is can only be one. I like this poem for it's simplicity but I feel as though something is missing in that last stanza. It could also just be me wanting to see more of your writing which I will now do. Good work.

I feel the same way with much of my writing, that there is always something missing. With poetry, I feel that way often because poetry is simply our subconscious imperfections, making the attempt to claw their way to the surface, but never quite reaching the light. The reason I began writing poetry isn't because I could, but rather, because I felt as though the only way to face my imperfections, was head-on, to allow them to reach the surface, to see the light, and then cast them back into the shadows where they would remain for as long as I wished it. I keep my imperfections around in order to remember that I am human, that we are all human, and humans are imperfect. On the outside, behind our many faces, we may seem flawless... but beneath the many, many masks we bear, we are broken. But all things that have once been shattered may yet be pieced back together, not on our own, but with other crushed souls who have shared the same pain. That, I suppose, is the missing piece of a poem. Its representation. What it stands for. And who it is directed to.

I really do enjoy this. I'm guessing this is about you because you are truly happy like always:) lol

We wear different faces depending on our moods but the one face that never changes is the face of love. : ) I like this Brian.
