The twisted masks

Hiding behind masks and walls.. Protecting oneself

What is my expression?

Do I honestly apperceive

Maybe I've morphed toward

Mortals theories and needs

Sporadically yours truly appears

Only to those genuine and devoted

I'm altruistic,astute and graceful

My soul is then divested

But never my heart in entity

A niche always in reserve

Could I ever absolve?

Your hitting a nerve

A apparel of disguises

For work, then to amuse

I'm a mother,daughter,wooer

Masks I cannot loose..

Each to masquerade exposure

Adding lots of blockades

Just in case the masks cracks

I'm so stuck in my ways

Can only push down so much

Some days cracks appear

The river wanting to break free

No matter which mask I wear

My spirit wants to soar

Like a caged exotic bird

My soul Is battered,listless

Looking out the bars! Mullered

Dreaming,longing,yearning

One day, I know!

My soul will have no limits

How long can I restrict the flo?

Your soul is free now and will know no limits ever again x

[Michael of Gilead]

Excellent word play and usage.

One should break free...

Thankyou xx

the title 'the twisted masks' gives a feeling that this is not about you but about others and how we hide and don't see each other for what we are - which is a good point to make on WC.... each stanza could be taken from a variety of situations, the twist coming from what you feel as each mask is dropped whether yours or someone else. so, the longing is to see what is really there, yearning for the truth you deserve.

You are a star here.

I like the use of questions in your writing. It forces your reader to think. I like your use of pics too since they add so much style.

[Bewitching Sensations]

thanks Sol :) i appreciate your review

[soliloquy]

The use of masks adds a sexuality to this piece as well.

[Bewitching Sensations]

thankyou so much x

[Ahmad Cox]

Wow, amazing and heartfelt. I could feel the angst and the need to fly and to soar and I appreciate the metaphor of the masks as well. I think we get used to hiding certain parts of ourselves from each other and putting on an act or masking our true selves and our true emotions.

[Bewitching Sensations]

yes its on natural :)

few seem to see
the me I am
as I listen to them
be whom they aren't
but ever wish they were
- even I wish upon falling stars.

Each of us has a Being for the occasion - that stands in front of god and everyone and just KNOWS what to do or say... even when we don't.

[Bewitching Sensations]

yes we all do.. you speak wise words chris :)

[Chris]

and you speak heartful ones...

Thanks :)) Whiskurz

[Dr. Wood ?]

never heard the word Mullered before....We all wear a mask of some description and it sometimes alters to suit our needs...The longer you live, the more you have to hide I suppose....even if they are the tinisest of things....This was quite incredible in its truth

[Bewitching Sensations]

Thankyou Dr... But dont you ever just want to be the real you?? :)

[Dr. Wood ?]

99% of the time I am ME...but it is never 100% for anyone....I perhaps gave the wrong impression...Your poem described perfectly how we all have something in our closet even if it is a small insignificance...I live my life trying to get folk to smile...it reflects in my poetry I feel...But that is not to say I don't cry

[Bewitching Sensations]

Well done nice to see someone who is there self most of the time... i will read through some of your poetry later ...
