Behind The Mask
Behind the mask, there dwells a heart
Full of pain, love and delight
Behind his smiles, there is a grin
Wicked, shrewd and full of lust.
Behind the mask, there is a stranger
Cold, bland and rude…
Behind the chaos, there is a hope
Flowery, romantic and soft…
Behind the naked facade,
There is architecture of glee
Behind the blue moon
There is an eternal darkness…
The looking glass in his living room
Exudes a sense of pride
The mask looks beautiful from outside…
The four walls feel his solitary pain
The anomaly and the madness
Composes a unique storm…
Behind the mask, there is a heart
Waiting to be a part of the world…
Behind the mask, there is a king
Struggling to acquire his lost kingdom…
Behind everything, there is actually nothing
And that emptiness creates the Mask…
Unfortunately thats how life furthers, it seems! But never once let go of the hope for happiness and bliss!

ReplyDeleteI loved the flow and the words, especially the last two lines.
And the imagery is so true.
Everyone wears a mask which hides something about them, however subtly.
You have so beautifully interpreted my words. Thanks D2 :)
