The 8th Year

In confessionals of doubt
he chased absolution
The devil unmasked
—his penance forsworn  

(Washington Chapel: November, 2021)


Lines of Passion

Lines of passion
Not in orderly fashion
I've been amongst the best
And still unmasked them
Ignorance is bliss
But still I show compassion

Day walks very slow
beauty displays its power
for life to blossom.

The sun is unmasked
for proud nature to embrace
and put fun in charge.

The Man Unmasked

Smashing Thrill
Indomitable Will
Unquenching Desires
To Conquer the World he Conspires
Now made to sit still
With a Mask … by his window sill

Beauty

Beauty is unmasked ugliness
It flits on a smiling lip
And sleeps on a frown genuine.
But where the thoughts attempt to hide
Beauty shall not reside.

Die Alone

Fela hela bale!
Confuse the confused,
Mask the unmasked,
You to obtain the desired,
Then theirs cares will be attended,
Because we live disintegrated,
And everyone will die alone.

Mommy, why's that man not wearing a mask

Be brave.

Premium Member Pregnant With Deceit

Their flashy words so rhetorical
Nothing new, just all historical
Words pregnant with deceit
Costumes mailed, in receipt
Unmasked, see... most are identical

This Is Normal

I awaken with inordinate maturate on my face. Stripping my skin away disinters a face made of red clay I then claw and strip it away to show the face of a roseate mask and once unmasked revealed the black star.

I Dream

To kill the viper
To slay the dragon, 
To show his/her unmasked face
To show that damn face to all human race
To pierce the serpent
To feed every hungry kid in the world
To give him/her a clean pure water.

Premium Member Unmasked

You won my vote with promises of peace

And vows to save our homes as jobs increased

     Special interests intervened

     Your slate seems no longer clean

Your mask falls, reveals the head of the beast

The Worlds New Flag

Stand and be unmasked
Neal and be afraid
Face death and be proud
Or, fear life

Death can come from a car
Death can come in a bar
Death can come when sleeping
Death can come at any time

If you fear death you're not living

Premium Member Dada

He came beating a path
That devolves everything 
That is norm

Strangely kitted 
Strangling patterns 
Dawning and hatching 
Stirring the hope
Of the unmasked kind

Erasing all dreads
Settling to rest
All that was held aloof

Premium Member Unmasked

Listen to poem:
The mask was torn from his face.
It lay broken, cracked, discarded.
The flawed illusion,
the imperfect facade of worth and value,
revealed at last for all to see.
Behold! A bare-faced liar.

Never Be Me

precipice

and the granite unmasked 

not my heart in immobility


Injustice

Disguise of righteousness

Not my soul in perpetual quake


Punishment

That which he doled smiling 

My body he forced, never will be...

THE REELING BATMOBILE

Batman unmasked -  a child
sits in the reeling batmobile.

“Grandma, your Superman”
“Okay,”  I say,

“Then who’s Grandpa?”
The three year old replies:

“He’s Wonder Woman,”
The car roars with laughter.

Premium Member Venetian Masks

Mysterious masks.
Motives suspected.
Whispered invitation.
Dance confirms intentions.
Low hanging Venetian fog
floats through narrow streets.
Distant music from St Mark's Square
drifts to rooms above.
Feelings unmasked.
Gondolas rock softly.

Premium Member Fulfillment Unmasked

Listen to poem:
fulfillment is achieved,
when all is said and done, by the trek not the prize
ill conceived.

as way forward
when it's not a shallow, hollowed
reward

fulfillment is achieved

The Reveal

reveal secrets 
better left unsaid 
till this moment 
now is the time 
to be unmasked 
is the time to 
come out in the open 
to step into the light 
stepping out of the darkness
opening up the door to 
new experiences 
once thought to be 
out of reach till now

Unease

Woken up uncombed
Felt a bit unclean
A shirt a bit unbuttoned
Looked a little green

Wanted to unwind
To feel a bit unchained
Ever want to have a night
Of being entertained?

Sensed I was unmasked
A shaking of the knees
Does this not describe for you
The feeling of unease?
