    LAYERS OF LIFE

    Beyond the realms of social eyes
    here within the secret lies
    undetected by the human hand
    growing and speading through life like sand.

    Unconcious reeling
    never revealing
    the real story
    lurking within
    covered by layers
    of the onion skin.

    No one can fly
    with weights on there wings
    A tree can't grow in cement
    masking your heart with stolen eyes
    can never be worth a red cent.

    We battle the future we worry with fright
    here within are the secrets of life
    but the darkness of eden when eve took a bite
    lives in the souls of us all.

    Driving and drifting
    never reaching the end
    unfolds a story of lovers and friends
    troubled by blessing bestoed unto them
    by the visions of those who might see
    was it wisdom or just prophecy.

    Uncoucious reeling
    never revealing
    the real story
    surking within
    covered by layers
    of the onion skin.

    The hidden side of you lives transparent. Why do we think no would understand if they knew.......I love the look in a dogs eyes......no onion skin. Great read. Great poem.

    I like the rhyme in this! I also like how it looks on the page. You have some very nice wording and I like the refrain you use. Me likey!

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
