Text of mask...
hidden in veils of damask.
I shall not ask
from whence you came,
for I have never been lucky
at the disguise game;
forever showing myself
blatently,
unable to mask my faults.
Seems the face of me
cannot hide from reality,
and this text of mask alludes me,
cavorting capriciously out of reach,
laughing at me
for not knowing the rules
of this game
you call hide and seek.
For you learned long ago
to always peek,
thereby finding
me...
sans mask.

Kacy,
I can see you,
and the mask.
Found --
and discarded.

LOL, as I said, you always peek...but thank you, for the heart that sees is the heart that feels.

(smiles) Oh Kacy, this is wonderful, I love it, your words wear as masks so well here in a game of hide and seek, yay!!! (kiss on cheek) This is marvelous, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

I love the play on words with "alludes" (refers indirectly to) as opposed to "eludes" (escapes from)
Well done
Kethry

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Noah, with unmasked thanks!
Kethry, you've uncovered my capricious mask!
Lady, thank you kindly! Am I exposed now?


Mikey, thanks for the inspiration.
