Fake Jewelry

Two faces is too much for one heart to carry

 

You display the Earth proudly like

It's a rock on your finger

Even though it is set

In a gold plated band.

 

Wearing it with pride plated sincerity

You try to hide the tarnished memory

That sucked up all your oxygen

And put you in a new moon state of mind.

 

One day that shining coating

Will flake off,

Exposing the truth;

That the necklace draped over your chest

Is nothing more than imitation pearls,

A symbolic gesture in showing

How you truly feel

About the ozone layer protecting your heart.

This is amazingly penned, Dale!...

There is an underlying truth, a story to be told, within each line.

I envision "fool's gold"... a shiny façade.

Well done, my friend!~xoxo~:)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so very much Robbie, your praise is very flattering.

[Robbie~xoxo~]

It's my pleasure, Dale. :)

[Sheila Kline]

It amazes me how many want to portray another image, a better appearance, a mask of reality when what will truly profit the soul is sincerity and truth! The ozone layer may be dispersed when a breath of fresh air comes sailing in............
Great thoughts!!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Yes it is amazing indeed… I prefer to be me, that way I am consistent in who I am.
Thank you for sharing your thought Sheila.

[The Analog Kid]

Gotta watch out for that fool's gold, Dale! Nice set up.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Hey thanks Bro… yes you do have to watch out for them.

[The Analog Kid]

You are welcome. Anytime, brother.

[Rita L. Sev]

Nothing more disappointing than all that glitter not being real gold... good analogy, Dale.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Why thank again my talented friend.

[Ruth]

Falseness on any level is something I can not understand, I would rather see the rust and dust than the gold sparkling x

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Amen to that Magick heart :)

[SquinklaPsyOps]

Metaphor as the world is full of trash that is buried in underground holes.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

[Linda alexander]

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

[Linda alexander]

You welcome, take care

[Corset]

wampum, I feel like that sometimes because my eyes are green, I wish they were a sultry brown, That's the Irish of my grandfather, it's too bad we cant reject some of the plating that keeps us from representing who we feel we are in our hearts. good one Dale.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so much. Isn't it the way too want qualities we don't have… straight haired people want curly hair, curly haired people want straight hair.

[Corset]

yes it is, grass is always greener

[Matching Socks]

You can sugar coat it all you like, what's real is real, and what's fake is fake.
Good write.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

You got that right, thank you.
