~Tragedy of Comedy~

comedy - the face you see
tragedy - reality
outwardly conveying glee
inwardly needing set free
mirror image mockingly
reflects the true identity
one glance and it successfully
unveils a hidden mystery
time goes by and silently
the role is played though painfully
only rest from tragedy
to don the mask of comedy

When I was a young man I vowed never to marry until I found the ideal woman. Well, I found her - but, alas, she was waiting for the perfect man. :(

You have the same mirror I have! And I thought I bought an original, one-of-a-kind. I want a full price refund immediately!

this is a clever and creative write Vicky...
both in the imagery and cool rhyme scheme.
we never know what to expect when reading your work, as you are so diverse in your topics and styles...
which is way cool

great write
