Poem Title:
Poem
A poetic writing challenge between Mother and son, Jordan Adorno (search for this poet to read poem of the same title) Charming the masses with only your smile. You can captivate a woman's soul just by gazing into her eyes giving your best performance, studying your lines, but still feeling emptier inside. A myriad of personalities roam inside you. You often wonder which one is the real you. You are always hiding in the crowd. Part of you needing to be noticed to feel alive the other part wishing that you could be invisible to the world. I walk through a maze of mirrors trying to find the man beyond the superficial glow. It feels as if you are trapped in your own house of horrors needing someone to rescue you from yourself. My devotion for you gives me the strength to continue this journey even when my heart cries out in vain for solace. My soul lives in a constant state of torment. I feel my body sinking, drowning in the many tears I have wept. Emptiness consumes my life. A piece of my dies every time I hear the numbing silence that exists between us. Sometimes I long for shouts, screams or anything that forces you to remove your mask so I can finally see what lives inside you. My motives are so pure their almost childlike. If I could have but one wish do you know what it would be? For you to grant me the privilege of getting to really love you and returning that love back to me so I can feel it's presence in my heart. I wish I could kiss your soul to heal its many wounds. I would hold it close to my heart, protecting it from harm. Maybe then I could see the entire man instead of just miniscule pieces of who you are. Don't you realize that by enclosing yourself behind the glass is only causing you to descend further into the blackened abyss in which you inhabit? Forever loyal I will be waiting here until your "opening night" when you finally unveil yourself to me, unraveling the spiraling mysteries that have been surrounding you.
