Sans Mask

You see my stone cold silence
behind my warm,bubbling verbosity

The veneer is in place
the smiles too,
you cant escape
the tinge of sadness
that lurks in the depth of
my eyes.

Sans mask
you know me
Raw,and
unpretentious.

I have kept away the facades
You cant be fooled.

 The unspoken tales
belie the composure
that I put across.

Your intuit all,
as you reach
 the depth of my soul.

 Sans mask,
you accept me...

The blend of feelings in the 2nd stanza reminded me of deep lines by k'nitin sarma:


"Ask me not and you would never
but every disclosed side of a coin is a veil of the other
my smile could only come out in reply to your good byes.
Ask me not what it veiled behind."

enjoyed reading it !!!
