[bodytext] => I have danced the masquerade for so long now That I know not who I am,forgot to care Danced I have with such controlled perfection Breezed with Kelly,floated with Astaire But the mask is slipping now,inexorably falling Lowered by the haunting heat of truth That thaws the frosted mind to warm reality Enveloping with thoughts of only you So long have I held this mask of dreaming Concealed myself in false love,wrecked in rust A mishmash of prayer and promised future That now blows windward as fogotten dust As it falls, a sense of freedom is now rising Transfusion of the soul is drawing near My blood is coursing startled to my heartbeat And I am gripped in agoraphobic fear Should I leave my sanctuary-castle walls forever? Venture forth,no armour,vulnerable and weak? Or rot in safety of cerebral cellblock? No! Hand me the stones, it's truth that I must seek The heartstones have been cast,the signs are cryptic Look for me beside the fallen face Greet me bathing in love's gentle waters Or lift be bleeding from my base disgrace [comments] => 3 [counter] => 224 [topic] => 2 [informant] => bushkeeper [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
