United

A poem I wrote that is set in a slightly dystopic society where conformity is the norm. It is a poem about how two people find happiness in such a time and place.

        

United

 

hearts float happily

at feelings shared mutually

light as two clouds

bubbling with thoughts to be said aloud

 

both children at heart

so identical that they could never part

flitting from thought to thought

never staying long enough to be caught

 

Knowing that their uniqueness will be revealed

causing scars that may never be healed

so behind the barrier of their masks their uniqueness is curled

hidden from the rest of the world

 

but when they're together their uniqueness can play

when there together everything is okay

as their hearts beat in tune

they could ask no greater boon

 

then to be together

as they lay in the heather

hearts as light as a feather

they wish the night could last forever

 

the night passes by and their hearts weep

knowing that dawn will soon creep

up the horizon and the masks must return

and yet they yearn to let the masks burn

 

as dawn breaks they kiss

both in perfect bliss

then the masks go back on

and the smiles are gone

 

replaced by a unified frown

and the days becomes that noun

but each night their spirits are set free

as they are together he and she

 

and they can take off those masks

and celebrate and bask

in who and what they are

despite that the world finds them bizarre

 

they have found happiness each night

because together all is right

I wrote it a little while ago but I'd be glad of any comments you have.
