And it always comes in like a bombshell -
For the next few days the world is whitewashed,
With all the lights incredibly bright
And for a while,
My ears are wringing out all of the
Tumtulous
Noise waves, washing away
Everything but
what's essential to survive.

Spent childhood ,
dreaming of a prince and castle.
Grown up and learned
All beauties Don't need beasts.

You were silhouetted against
the dimming sky.
I paused right there to admire
the beauty.
A perfect blend of feelings
coursing through my veins.
A love, so pure washed away
the sorrows of yesterday.
I knew the day I had met
you it would be the last time
I would ever sing a monody,
I would ever write a tragedy
again.  
Sent for me, beautifully
carved by the hands of the
creator, you had me starstruck
at the very first sight.
I will write you until your
heart is filled with my words.
Until my body is dusted
and every bone is broken.
Wrap me up in your arms
as I look in to your star like
eyes, I will love you with
every ounce in every life
no matter
how many times I die. ✨

So.

Here I stand,
alone,
a tall, awkward pole in the vast,
echoing desolation that used to be
us.

And I wonder,
Bewildered,
what the **** just happened.

And the answer rings like a bell -
clear in the silence:

I was not enough.

THE ETERNAL MASK OF MAN
HIDES THE INNER BURNING SOUL
THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF
LIFE DEFINITELY TAKE THERE TOLL


IF MAN CAN BREAK FREE
AND DREAM BIGGER THAN BEFORE
OPPORTUNITIES AND PASSION YOU
WILL FIND BEHIND EVERY DOOR


JUST OPEN UP YOUR HEART
AND LET THE MAGIC COME IN
FILL YOUR LIFE WITH OPPORTUNITY
AND LET THE MAGIC BEGIN
