MASK

Topic: LoveRemembered

I hope that you will understand:
I have no need to win her heart-
I just have years of need to know,
Did she understand the part
Of me she saw so many years ago,
One April night, when time stood still?
She'd looked into an emptiness
That only you have filled…

Embarrassed by old memories,
I search for shreds of dignity,
Some token that says she had seen
And recognised that it had been
An involuntary cry, whose cause
Was some unspoken sense of loss,
A momentary glimpse at pain
Behind a mask that would not slip again…

And maybe, when you hear this song
Someday, you’ll come to understand
This was no waywardness along
My road, no loss of self-command:
Just purging of a fear to know
What image I’d find in that cask:
I want you to know this, my love,
To you, I’ve never worn a mask:
You know you are, have always been,
Will always be my woman, first and last…

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
