Final Masquerade I paint a smile one final time Pull on my funny shoes Create a joyous laughing crowd Oblivious to my blues Im trapped inside a jokers grin Emotionless it seems Concealed behind a hideous mask A world of broken dreams So very weary of being the clown Never once revealing me The camouflage was cemented on Now crumbles, setting me free You see the scars of time i wear There are heart wounds in my eyes But also smiles of love and trust And at last a clown who cries |

Oh poor clown who cries. Sometimes the laughter just dies for awhile, but it will come back. Love, Joyce |

June, I got so much from this piece. Thank you. To me, it is the sign of a spectacular poet who can write a poem that has many meanings to the reader. Brava dear lady. Huggles, Marti |

Dear June, this is so heart-wrenching. its so true that we act like a clown many a time to mask our sorrows... Love Michelle If there cannot be equal in affection, then let the one with more be me - midnightblues™ |

marti , thank you so much your words have encouraged me to write more. I still feel quite new at this ( well at least new at showing other people my work ) you made my day. hugs from june x michelle, you too have been really kind i am glad that you enjoyed this and i wrote it because i do hide behind a smile quite often in life and am sometimes tired of putting on a brave face for the world to see. thanks for your encouragement. hugs from june x |
