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.

I think the imagery that you have painted in this piece is beautiful and flows with the simplicity of the story. Very well written!

Cinematic hallucinations...

[Pushkar Prabhat]

WoW!!!
just like a beautiful kiss........leaving us wanting more........
but somehow a quickly revealed secret makes us question.......what's it hiding.......the mask removed.....or the face revealed......
great write......
loved it!!!
:)

What if the mask is true and the face is the deception..?

[Fahmida Mehreen]

This brought a smile of delight on my face. :)
Very sweetly expressed. Lovers' joy!

[sinNsincerity]

Then it was worth writing. I love it!

Whatever happened to a little mystery, indeed though the mask will have to come off in time, if not to the mirrors of friends, but to a personal mirror inside, well done, good read.

I'm a fan of being mystique and especially of others. I gravitate towards the unknown in others and myself.

You are a king of words and of brevity as well! I swear, I thought about the phantom of the opera. An alternate story of his and his angel of music!

[sinNsincerity]

I try to stay sharp and produce exactly what I'm thinking.
That was the image I was hoping to imply.
But rather having the lips concealed and instead of the entire face.
Thank you Nadia. Your words mean more than such to me. It's the world to me, I truly appreciate it and keeps me going...

[Crystal Overmeyer-Birmi..]

This makes me want to pull up a seat and watch. What a marvelous was to depict a pair of lovers that are uncertain but willing to try. The imagery that you play with is light and witty, i particularly enjoyed the mimicked a mystical kiss ... what a phase my friend. Awesome and inspired.

[sinNsincerity]

I'm really glad to hear that. I love it!
Thank you Crystal!

[sereenaoutloud]

so many masks we all wear to hide or protect ourselves ! We need to step out of our comfort zone to reach out full potential!!Great write Bestie! :)

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you Sereena! Yea, it's like screw everyone else and let's do us. Then you'll see who are the real ones who stick around...

[Debra White]

Sometimes we have to step out of what we believe to be safe and brave our true feelings.... A striking write. Heavy use of alliteration in the first section is very effective.
Particularly enjoyed the last 2 lines - Lets just be ourselves and show them, and us, what we are capable of!
Fab :)
Kindest regards, Debra

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you so much Debra, I highly appreciate your insight.
I love using alliteration and other literary tools I have learned, so thank you for noticing.
Thank you once again!

[Debra White]

You're very welcome and I look forward to reading you again soon :)
