Phantoms

I removed the

masquerade mask that

mimicked a mystical

kiss while everyone

around you and I

said that we shouldn’t.

Should we?

Let’s show them…

Let’s show us!

We are each our own phantoms & it's such a bold move for two lovers to decide to finally expose their relationship to the world, even if the world may not accept them. There was a dreamy kind of edge to this & it felt so raw. Great job, truly inspiring! I enjoyed the read.

hehe we really are. I could remember when I was much younger I would introduce a girlfriend to may parents and family due to the fact that I was raised to do so in a Mexican family. Fast forward, relationships have remained anonymous because sadly they don't last.

[sinNsincerity]

[Pink Pastel]

[NeuroVersifier]

Yes, show them and show yourselves. YOLO!
Good stuff. I like the brevity and how you communicate exactly what you need to communicate without wasting a word.

[sinNsincerity]

As of late, I do try to keep my words sharp as liquid swords and I appreciate your complements SIr!

[EssenceofDaringx]

Yes! Be proud of your lover, no matter the opinions of others!

[sinNsincerity]

I've always have and always will!

[Nina H.]

Amazing. Love it! I really like the image you have painted with your words. For a moment, I was transported to this magical place where this scene was taking place. Great work!

[sinNsincerity]

Nice! That's what I had envisioned when I wrote this.
I'm glad you'd enjoyed it Nina!

A beautiful scene you've managed to capture here. Has a real thespian flow. I love the hesitant build up and questioning...prelude to a kiss.

Perfectly measured, your concision lacks nothing...dope! Rach x

'Twas my pleasure Rach, Muah!

Very good poem. Shows to embrace who we are without the mask that covers us. Very nice :) :)

[sinNsincerity]

Very much so! I have many voices and stay true to them all...

[Quinn W]

For some reason your poem reminded me of when Romeo and Juliet first met at the Capulet party. Not entirely sure why but it did. Love the mask lines!

Cinematic hallucinations...

[Asante]

This gave off the impression of a stage act; very vivid, bro! I enjoyed this. Great, as always.

[sinNsincerity]

Thanks bro, and I start my Shakespeare course for the fall tomorrow, so I should be improving on that.

[Asante]

That sounds really dope, bro. I'm interested to see the pieces you pop out with once the course is well underway.

[sinNsincerity]

Gotta study and respect the Masters.

[GalaxyGhost]

I don't know why but this reminds me of a movie or something that would come out of a movie like a cool scene with a ballroom and the party.
