Poet Of Many Faces
By Paul Wilson

Thanks Sunshine For The Inspiration

The kiss of dawn on my face brings forth a new day
Suddenly I pause for a moment with this thought
What mask will I wear today… what roll will I play
Reaching into my grab bag of names for one sought

Maybe I’ll be the happy go lucky dreamer
Writing about that perfect place or perfect love
With change of mask I could be an evil schemer
Or write those heavenly words praising God above

Should I wear the mask of Poe and write nevermore
To fill my quill with blood of those now departed
The Raven calls Lenore...calling her evermore
How did this get started...I mourn for the departed

The tranquil sea is our home… with it we are one
Together we sail into the sunset each day
Sharing dreams of love and a life we’ve just begun
The mask of Browning might fit well my muse today

Tomorrow comes quick as yesterday now departs
Bringing with it a grab bag of new names to use
Perhaps today I’ll just write me and touch your hearts
With sad words and teardrops shed about child abuse

The kid in me still comes out every now and then
Bringing a smile to sad faces covered with tears
Sharing stories and laughter from my heart again
Hoping somehow I can help them forget their fears

The kiss of dawn on my face brings forth a new day
Suddenly I pause for a moment with this thought
Which mask will I wear today…what roll will I play
Reaching into my grab bag of names for one sought

Of all the names I could use to write my poetry
And all the disguises and mask I could wear
The one I choose is no secret to you and me
I’m just a simple man trying to write with flair

Linda...Thank you so much for your kind thoughtful words. While trying to sleep last night the idea came to me that we often wear mask or disguises when writing different types of poetry for whatever reason, but in the end we are still just ourselves. Glad you enjoyed...Paul

Seymour...Thank you sir for taking the time to read & reply. Glad you liked it...Paul

Martie...Thanks. Glad you liked this and took the time to read. For me to pretend to be more than I am I would have to be dishonest with myself, so I will continue to be me...Paul
