unmasks a bitch.

she exits her flute
to rise to the top bleachers —
unmasks a songbird

Poor Angry Creature
the angry creature,
always dominated by emotion
reacts badly to everything that unmasks
his ego....
At that moment mediocrely
on the spur of the moment, holds  the weapon
and shoots...
kills the rationality
and loses all reason....!...

Premium Member Where did Faith go
   Where is she
   Where did Faith go
   If she's abandoned me
     How did she know

   Listened so patiently, I did
   Made sure I understood
   Checked my ego at her gate
     O, Faith, is it really too late ... 

   I gaze into her eyes
   They are deep, I realize
   Faith pierces my heart
     unmasks my disguise...

Her Eyes
There’s a power that only certain women have,
a force beyond words to describe

Where your breath is frozen, and your eyes are locked,
with every move freeing her guise

You surrender the only thing certain and sure,
your downfall worth all she unmasks

The future and past in a war they’ll both lose
—as you give what her eyes never ask

(Dreamsleep: April, 2020)...

Premium Member Tears of a clown
Don't let the painted layers that were made to make up , stop you from questioning the feelings behind their costumes and gown.

The slightest smudging, by which sympathetic fingers smear, unmasks fear, and an underlying frown

At the end of every day, when curtains close and the lights die down.  Floodgated tears emerge,  from the sad eyes of a  person 

Perceived only, but a CLOWN...

Butterfly's Wander
Once upon a time
the old songs were new
On prairies unplanted
invaders were few 

Where rivers rolled onward
no ferries or towns
All riverboat minstrels
new ages impound

The time of the season
unmeasured refrain
And cursed belladonna
tomorrow to reign

As butterfly’s wander
o’er questions unasked
A dark shrouded answer
—  the future unmasks

(Dreamsleep: April, 2025)

Wailing winds, crying in the empty night; 
tripping leaves rattle across, walls and roads; 
click-clacking out a lullaby.

Soon, squirrels will be rocked into a 
hibernating dreamtime; 
their nests swaying in high treetops.

As fall unmasks winter, 
Mother Earth beds down her creatures; 
tucking them in for
the approaching nights.

Wrapped in her white blanket, 
she takes her, long-deserved rest....
