![]() The LoversA Poem by gen scott
Do you know what lies
![]() behind the sheet? Do you know that person? How many sheets do they have? The sheet does not protect you For it is translucent; You can see what the light allows and nothing more Your lover's love is not true It is blind; It sees the beauty of what light shines upon it You cannot see their flaws of what keeps them awake at night Or the harm in what they say to you You can only see what looks to be a smile But the smile is not a soft smile, it is a dark, enticing smile That draws you in Because there is no truth with the sheet You too, have a sheet, a cover of secrets What are you hiding? How many covers do you have? Is your cover for someone else? Do you too have a cynical smirk? Or is that cloth covering your own face from the dangers within? Lift it up from Your face and feel the warmth of the sun Upon your skin See the world in All it's beauty and horror, not concealed; Unmasked © 2015 gen scott |
