Rhia Madison Thomer Poet Couplet

Two Person Masquerade

We're a two person masquerade
within each dance people grow and fade,
the mirror there reflects a face
hidden by the mask, black night's lace.
What's behind, who do we hide?
Why we ourselves, and lips that lied
within each dance someone new born
inside this mind they are our thorn
we can hear their voice rebound
can't cover our ears to stop the sound.
Laughter from masked eyes
hidden, hidden, someone else dies
soon it seems someone new takes her place
but no one sees we share the same face
for we are I, and who is he?
Why don't you know, they are me.
All these folks in my head are made,
I am a two person masquerade.

John Rhinem June 5, 2009 at 3:32 AM Smile~Great, two for the price of one....I loved "Your" rhyme here; and it was soo intriguing that I read twice-and "You" know I am going to read it again-because I always do "Your" writes....And this is almost like a riddle Mrs. Poe!!?~Thats what makes "You," so very very interesting Madison~Smile~Aside from "Your Profound Uniqueness"....Cont....
