Ocean Cherub-Michael Cromwell
Faces
Almost like a chameleon,
Changing with each atmosphere
A collage of faces,
Adapt and adhere
To particular circumstances,
Desiring different results
Seeking your goal,
Pretending not to insult
Falsely displaying,
Who you are not
Attempting to catch,
People in their blind spot
Instead of pretending,
Just be you
Your lies,
Are being seen through
You are not only deceiving others,
But yourself as well
Losing yourself,
Falling under your own spell

well written. i like this one and i love the photo you chose. goes well with the poem!
Wow. This is truely incredible prose, JSTAR.
So many people go through thier entire lives like this.
Very well stated, JStar! Chameleons are pretty cool, as animals go. But people should remain people... real, consistent, if not entirely predictable.
Great poem!
One.
yes...i know a few ppl that this relates to.
Hey! has anybody told you that you are damn good poet? *smile*
Amazing!
Fave line: "Almost like a chameleon,
Changing with each atmosphere" Been here...done this. It becomes all too easy, and sometimes necessary, in some situations.
What an intriguing poem...I certainly enjoyed this. Nicely written.
Very nice, very nice indeed!!!
