The After Mask

What audacity stares deep into the blackness
still and chilling on a cabernet summers night
punishing gluttony with a cup full of emptiness
pouring it over in attempts to know where home is
rite...
it is schism
And within it's division one becomes two
fractured, where You behold splinters
prick thickening jabs that ooze all hidden truths
you denied while trying to abstain from that moment
listen...
you know the sound
you heard it as a child breaking apart
glass hallowed vases shaped perfectly
where stems snap violently pouring out
blooming roses dipped in taffeta wrapping
faith...
dyed as awareness
forever protected as knowledge
in a place where only a hole gives
you lean back and sigh crying deliverance
as your thrust forward in life one more step
beyond...

The way I take this write is that a lot of hidden truths need to be unmasked and a lot of questions need to be answered to move the steps forward in life or relationships. A splendid read and write...Thank you for sharing , sir...:)

Indeed You Know the truths Kind Sami!!! Tis the wisdom we hate going through, many become bitter by it ...and swallowed by it...yet for some it is simply live and learn...to truly KNOW the value of living without clothes. Thank You for visiting Kind Poet!!!
