Masking Love

~ Masking Love ~

There are many lovers ~ in different places
some are masked ~ wearing different faces
Others give joy ~ but some cause pain it does seem
so why not give joy ~ then a ~ hidden masked scheme

Magnify virtues of your own valued perception
or is love masked within hidden presentation
Your choice is to wear ~ your love upon your face
but defiled when masked ~ in your fantasy's place

Decisions creating deceptions or loss
notes sadden pathways for another's cross
Fantasy lurks in life's playing roles
causing heartaches within weakening tolls

Make~believe love stems out of control
resulting in pain for another's ~ injurious soul
Two~faces or masking create saddened results
laden in destruction ~ afflicting insults

All masked lover's devices' change another ~ as to be played
in respect ~ throw away your stage of deceptive masquerade

Love in honesty ~ truly presented without device
reaching and touching true love's longings to entice
Strange~love masked mainly fools only one's self
acting on this stage of honest cherished wealth

Cast aside those petty devices masking all shame
by honest deliberation in allowing true love's claim
Engage within love within fidelity remaining faithful
within trusting love, hopes, dreams & living so full

Unmask hidden strangeness by your own decree
loving honestly
someone unmasked
~ you will see ~

Very nice. Reminds me of the chorus to The Secret Heart, one of my own poems put to music:

"Choose the face you wear carefully
for we are what we pretend to be
There's nothing so real as fantasy
in the secret heart of the night."
Keep up the good work.

My dear each and every person is wearing many masks and some of them become their very nature and looks like reality. Anyway I havent understood, what is mask & whats unveiled. I think you should read my poems and get an other perception. Nice write anyway.
