I See You

I see you hidden princess

Behind your clay mask

So vulnerable that you need protection

I will drape you in my cape…

which is the fabric of my sheets.

 

You’re so lucid…when you want to be

Like liquid I’ll wash over you

Come, let me purify you

You’ll be godless

But you’ll be a goddess

 

You’re a feminine phantom

Who must be unmasked

It will sound like bells hitting violins

When I tamper with your indistinguishable guise

 

Author's Note

Sometimes to know a person, you have to allow them to open up to you.

Another fine poem from you, I like the presentation and the wording is wonderful. I am quickly becoming a fan of your work. I have a certain fondness for masks and painting my face up to hide the real me so this one hit close to home. Bravo on a wonderful write!

NICE CLIMAX IT WAS VERY REFRESHING I THINK I NEED TO USE A FEW LINES IN HERE GREAT JOB...

To reveil others hidden behind their created illusions, we must first brave the mirrors image of our own soul, for if we do not, that which we see will only ever be a distorted reflection of ourselves.

Enjoyed your poem :0)

you indeed have to remove the mask to know them truly - some brilliant lines in this one - i loved - "You’ll be godless
But you’ll be a goddess" - just brilliant wordplay and ideas there - godless but a goddess in your own right! bravo!!

[Coyote Poetry]

Few try to un-mask another in a life. I like the desire and the way you expressed the desire to see what may lay behind the mask.
"You’re so lucid…when you want to be
Like liquid I’ll wash over you
Come, let me purify you"
Thank you for a outstanding poem.

WOW! you can't be turning people out like that. Well written with a touch of class. NICE.
