Facade

Will you traverse with me across my world

Shelter me inside your arms

Succumb to my constant, urgent wants

Please the fickle child in me

Calm the thunderous roars around

Cover the earth in pristine peace

Level the ground so I don't trip and fall

Bring to a smile to my countenance

Gather gems so sparse and rare

That twinkle more than stars ever could

And present to me what I covet

Or is your façade truly a lie, as I can see are your woven tales of loyalty

Will you stand to you words or stand by me, together

Not a servant bowing to my feet

For your beliefs of what I am are different than what they should be

You couldn't possibly understand the inner workings of my mind

If your eyes cannot see through my own

Into an elaborate soul caught in the midst of infinite confusion

Fighting silently through day and night

Working towards a greater goal than possibly imaginable

Having told none about such dreams of….

Yet that is what secrets are

And an admiring twat is unwanted

However, should you still feel the need to walk in my tracks

Trace my image through your mind

And bestow upon me material possessions

Which I would rather you bestow upon someone far more worthy or needy of such

Then I applaud your futile tenacity

And will make note to leave you with something to dwell on

Than the façade I played before you for all these years

When I leave this place and your line of sight forever more

For some strange reason..parts of this poem came to me as portraits of Cleopatra and Salome. It brings to mind, many Femme Fatales in history who have shaped powerful men to their liking. There is darkness in the words, but the cold and calculating mind of this person disturbs me the most. You've created a piece of work that leaves an impression. The lack of empathy and sense of entitlement are unbelievable. Not only have you created a startling character here, but you have created a spirit that took on a life of it's own. This is Deep.

a very eloquent poem that spoke to somewhere deep inside of me, you certainly have a knack for writing, a very good job

[zendikar]

once again another very well written poem keep it up!

[J.Black]

You're a great writer. That's all that needs to be said. This speaks for me.

I suppose I wouldn't be very content with someone that treated me like their lord either. We're looking for our equal; the one that complements every fiber of our being. Love is much more than fancy gifts and servitude.
I really liked this poem. Thank you for sharing! ^^

Sounds like my ex girlfriend.
She left me broken and broke. lol
This was a beautiful poem that portrayed the wanting desire of an unattainable beauty. That's what I got anyway.
Cheers

OOHH!! You got this off, you definitely put together a good poem here. I especially marveled at these lines:

"However, should you still feel the need to walk in my tracks
Trace my image through your mind
And bestow upon me material possessions
Which I would rather you bestow upon someone far more worthy or needy of such"

Your way with words is impressive, and you brought so much emotion in your tone (a quite demanding tone), and it made for an entertaining read. Good work.
