The Mask of Your Man

by Antoinette Kopperfield — Read all 219 poems by Antoinette Kopperfield

Friday, November 21, 2003

Take off your mask
and reveal your true self to me!

Have you forgotten?
That I am a newly blossomed flower
With petals which cannot stand upright
Against the wind

Must you be like all the rest?
As you tatter and soil
The innermost seeds-
Within my soul

A time will come
when you will wither
and be at my mercy!

Though I shall never forget
the stain on your hands
or the crack of your deceiving smile-
as you mask yourself
to set forth-another day

A deeply touching poem. The metaphors are spot on. Enjoyed reading.
