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.

This is rich in sentiment. To reveal one's true self is freeing.
A great write.

Thank you Melinda!

"I removed the masquerade mask that mimicked a mystical kiss"
That part of the line seemed seamlessly to make my skin itch with a certain satisfaction.

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you and that makes me smile to hear.
I used the repetition of M's hoping it would play well and I'm happy that you noticed!
Thank you for reading Violet.

Masks we all wear, and taking them off for these circumstances
I think is fantastic:) Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you brother!

this poses a heavy question about the presentation of self...how many masks we wear and how brave we must be to remove then...well done

[sinNsincerity]

Sometimes I felt it was fun to wear different ones while always knowing and staying true to who you are. as long as I didn't lurk to far...

Coming out of the shadows. . Revealing emotion from behind the mask. It's always a chance to peel away the protective gear, but when your both ready it can be worth the shot. It's hard for love to reach full bloom if it's kept in the shadows.

[sinNsincerity]

Yes it is...
Thank you Jan!

Masks. its such an interesting concept everyone writes about. But the way you have put it in such a concise manner is nice.

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you for thinking so Mannat, I really appreciate that!

Masks can be used to insulate feelings from the world or to insulate self from reality. When a mask is removed one reveals more about themselves than the mask ever hid. Let's show us? Only if both of US agree. Interesting philosophical question. take care...dan

[sinNsincerity]

Both really do have to agree and that is why I pose the question. There is uncertainty in wanting to step into a new dimension of a relationship and taking a leap of faith would make it or brake it, but curiosity must be fulfilled...
A lot of the thinking in my writing is philosophical, but I believe wisdom comes with the experiences rather than the age of a person and rather if they take the time to learn and find some significance in those experiences.
