"Poetry is important to the writer but I feel it is all about the reader." By Poet Today as I open up my computer what will I see, a contest looking back at me? As I read the rules I must decide is this one for me, or will it haunt me if I turn it away? No mask needed...

They say our names like they belong, like a chorus in some love song. They smile, they tease, they swear they know— but they don’t feel the weight below. I laugh, I play, I wear the mask, pretend it’s fine, don’t dare to ask. But in the quiet, late at night, my heart still flickers, dim but bright. You stand so close, yet...

In the halcyon hush of twilight meadows, a clown carves laughter from hydrangea elixir, his smile — a fuchsia epitaph, hidden behind a dazzling white glow. Sparkling countless orbs drift from his broken pockets, ghosts grow wishes in splotchy shade, each sangria song he sings splinters against the opalescent...

Enter the virgins we are, My love does say to me, He has a mask of intrigue, As we bask in mild glow, We're not frigid, I guess, Love in the afternoon, Languid, but molten, Let go and let love, He's gone again, See you, perhaps, Love you tomorrow at dawn, Vestals somewhen.........

Beneath the painted smile, a shadowed gaze, A heart that beats to rhythms not their own. He trips and tumbles through the laughter's maze, A solitary figure strangely known. The bright facade, a fragile joyful lie, Conceals the yearning for a gentler touch, A silent question mirrored in the eye, Of one who gives so much yet asks for much. The greasepaint cracks...

The Mask You hooked me with your charming ways And I fell hard and fast. I couldn’t have believed you If you said it wouldn’t last. I didn’t know what hit me when you started with your scorn. What should have been my harbor, quickly became my storm. I tried and tried to please...

You'd never know Surely no one could tell I almost took my life ten months ago From the flames inside that burned a living hell Where demons dwell and angels ache to break free from below It mustn't show, the absent soul hidden within a counterfeit shell...

Faces may hide, the truth shall never go away, No veil of lies can cover the light of right. Gold can gloat but darkness gets in, Because inside, the spirit shows its true power. Evil, masked in false smiles, spreads its vilest odor, And every bend in the road goodness has a mask. Where accusations vent innocence is lost, But lies can’t...

Toxic notions, mixing up potions Bubble and boil, cauldrons toil. The words evade me, They could've made me - by now - but somehow, I forget what the words were I forgot I could speak, I became so weak, inside I was dying, I couldn't stop from crying, I wanted to run and hide. Perfection is just a reflection, An image...

I wear a mask, carefully made, Of shine and strength, a bold facade. It hides my pain, my deepest fears, And guards my soul through fleeting years. A smile here, a nod to show, But who I am, they’ll never know. The world sees dark, blurred and faint, While I remain beneath restraint. For masks are shields, a safe disguise, Yet also prisons in...

I hide behind a mask— So you know me as Mrs sunshine. Light radiates off my shoulders, As I laugh through the silence. I hide behind a mask— So you know me as Mrs talkative. I shed my worries and joys, Through talking and parlour tricks. I hide behind a mask— So you know me as Mrs perfect. Cracks never open, Faults are never revealed, I keep...

Some shall never see the truth, I've been this way since youth, The mask I wear is layers upon layers of paint, So many that facial features appear faint, Unable to see due to this dark veil, Just praying that my feet will not fail, This prison created by my misguided will, A deep maze walked...

My mask is slipping, I try to keep it on. It makes me feel scared, All my defenses are gone. I never keep the same face, Most of the time I feel out of place. Who am I? Do I want to know? I am scared to find out . Am I a friend or am I...
