What Lies Beneath
02-12-17
Those whose faces shine with light,
Often hide the worst form of dark.
Daily, they battle their demons in a fight
That leave them broken, bruised and full of marks.
The darkness hides behind bright eyes
Full of life and laughter and cheer.
For it becomes easy to disguise
Sorrow in humour, despite all the fear.
When their light's faded and life's been blown out,
Remember, I warned you that behind their sweet stare
Lingered their demons, their worries and doubts,
And behind peaceful eyes the whirls of nightmares.

The Madagascan Hainteny</b>
The Madagascan Hainteny dates back to the 17th century, being a traditional Malagasy form of oral poetry. It features abundant use of metaphors and proverbial insights. It’s used to further ideas and philosophies, or to make observations of daily life. While the Haiteny doesn’t have a strict rhyme scheme, it is often seen with a loose ABAB rhyme. The meter and syllabic count is up to the poet’s discretion.</i>
