no
one could see
behind
her porcelain face
or
his boy next door eyes
no
one saw past her pretty smile
or
his loud boisterous laugh
beyond
those warm eyes
they
all harbor secrets
imprisoned
behind bars
so
no words can escape
through
mouths

Yes. Reminds me of the latest news about the doctor and his girlfriend - both attractive, successful, and deeply disturbed.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we don't really know what is behind the beauty and laughter. Those secrets must be deep and dark.
ReplyDeleteVery nice...so often words are hard to escape and many a secret does not get revealed until too late
ReplyDeleteThose secrets run deep and are well hidden
ReplyDeletePorcelain smiles and hardy laughs do not make a safe harbor. Very well done. Imprisoned words do break free in due time! Not always in the best way.
ReplyDeletePorcelain smiles can hide great evil. Sad but true.
ReplyDeleteA write that makes me ponder....and shudder a bit as well.
Well done!
Dark secrets can indeed be harboured behind a 'porcelain face' and 'boy next door eyes' - very well done!
ReplyDeleteA melancholy but truthful piece. Very well written.
ReplyDeleteAlas beauty cannot be trusted... they might be good, but evil can lurk in the pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for reading and commenting
ReplyDeleteSecrets never really let you truly know a person. Well done, Arcadia!
