I can see you, your sorrow
and pretentious smile
feel the change in wind as you
heave a mournful sigh
Like the moon that reflects on water,
come empty
all that’s in your heart.
The soul as we know it wears no mask
let reason soothe
and play its part.
(and now this love has torn me apart)
I can see you, your angst
and accustomed pain
hear the roar of clouds
as tears obscured, drops of rain
Like daylight that mounts a porpoise sky
come meet
oh warm, solicitous gaze
The soul as we know it wears no mask,
let reason soothe
and play its part
(and now this love has torn me apart)

This is so beautiful. No pain deeper than that which love can cause – and no feeling higher. I especially love “like daylight that mounts a porpoise sky” – how original!

Thank you so much, Sreeja 😊 so good to see you ❤
Sometimes in learning something new we lose a part of ourselves as well. Love of course hurts us the most as its loss affects every single part of us. Let’s hope you are not writing about yourself!
Thank you so much, Robin 😊 for your kind and thoughtful comment ❤

A lovely poem.

Happiness is the function of your consciousness and ‘it wears no mask” It is very true. At this moment you have put me on a self love journey. 🙂
Lovely poem, Sanaa!
Awwww!❤️ Thank you so much, Panchali 😀 so glad you liked it!❤️
Sanaa, I really like this loose approach to form that you are using at times. The imagery is flawless and the staggered lines lend a lightness to the mood.. I think of dandelion seeds blown across the page. Very nicely done.
Oh gosh!❤️ Thank you soo much, Kerry 😀 so glad you liked it!❤️
True “the soul has no mask” Lovely write.

The soul knows no mask. I like that thought, Sanaa.
It seems the soul is the truest part of a person.
