Love dressed up as love
hits you like a train,
but you'll relish such collision
over anything less,
dressed up as the same.
Mary Frances Oct 2017
There you are again passing by me
You looked but you didn't see
You didn't notice that part of the view
Is just staring and thinking of you

Your name, I wish I could call
And tell you that you're the best among all
But such words, I couldn't speak
Kept in my heart and making me weak

My spirit's strength is my love for you
My heart's content is the sight of you
But you don't know, for I couldn't reveal
Even a clue of what I truly feel

But if you'll just take a moment to realize
That in the silence you hear, my love lies
And in that same silence, you have a friend
who loves you dearly with a love that has no end
KA Poetry Oct 2017
Your presence
Changed my way of life
Becoming my best friend
In love with a friend who've always been there

Unable to reveal everything in my heart
Words that cultivate in my brain
With one believe
We will be together as one someday

One day I said it all with courage
You smile instead of getting shocked
Next day we walk together
Stepping into a new world belongs to both of us.

Playing games
To shield myself from everything
That could hurt me outside
My shattered core
So when I for once want to reveal
My broken soul
Noone belives me
Michael Briefs Jul 2017
M-a-s-q-u-e.

Me.

Mask. Me.

Ask me, see me; look within…
Past my mask,
Past my scars,
Past my fears,
Past my charms,
Past my ugly weakness,
Down to the soul and
The soil of my sin.

Yes, I hide here but I will also
Reveal the real, in me.
Behind this shield,
I stay closed
But the door of my
Face tells more,
For those who can see.

Clearly, I am a clown.
That is plainly shown.
But beware:
I am also a bringer of truth --
My truth -- and my beliefs
Are born from deep in the bone.
I stand in defense of my voice
Like a soldier behind the wire.
I bring my armor for the war:
My heart, my hope,
my humanity,
my burning inner fire!

I bring a desperate spirit of courage
And uncompromising desire.
With this act, I will change the way things are!

Though I wear a disguise,
I will enter the theater and
Take my place
On stage.

I will perform my story --
The tale of a tragic martyr -- and
Give expression to my rage.

I will wear the mask,
Secure the armor,
And raise the shield.
I offer to the world the
Chain-mail of my flesh,
My tarnished soul,
My battered bones and
Bronzed heart, concealed.

From this stage,
I will show my scars,
I will engage the enemy.
I will **** my fear.

My mask tells so much,
For those who can hear.

Old clothes hang on my bones that
Feel more mine than ever
Shedding dead weight so I
Won’t be late for my cue to
Walk through the door of opportunity
Excuse me as I strip my skin
Revealing what lies within
Patience is not wearing thin: my
Body is shrinking but my soul is
Expanding past the confines of the
Physical frame I occupy in the meantime.
Debanjana Saha May 2017
Unveil yourself
not through your body
but through your soul.

Reveal your draped soul
once in a while
with no prediction at all.

And people will come back to you
feeling an ecstasy
of your unique soul!
Revealing oneself through artistic expression is always boundless.
We can never predict what fascination it may lead to.
Thomas Newlove Oct 2016
She doesn't realise I'm madly in love with her.
She's so in love and it's beautiful
and it kills me...
I guess it's all out there now. ****.
Broken Oct 2016
I wish I had the words to say
To tell you just the way I feel
I'd tell you what you mean to me
I'd let out all that is concealed
So if tomorrow never comes
And if the sun doesn't ever rise
At least I'll sing you one last song
At least I'll look into your eyes and say
I love you
