A Smile that masque so much like the one I wear It smiles differently yet, remains the same you, -like I- cover your completeness portray... A world different -from that which lies within for to the eyes of others, the beauty within must surely match the beauty without “simple,” you say ...if only... in your complexity from behind coquettish eyes green in emerald hue you smile with soft lips to share with them a laughter they share with you for you they give true to themselves they show, they love, propelled to new heights you inspire them to reach and then for me, you try the same hide behind a heart of iron-bound knowing hoping knowing all the while the futility of the facade because I see the ray of beautiful you which shines through a sliver of truth slicing between the darkness of your depths and finally you smile smile from your eyes a smile few see a smile, none but I can know. |

My eyes are smiling , but not my mouth, for it is open, gasping at the perfection of this poem. Liz [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 01-31-2000).] |

...and here we go with those masques again ... methinks there will be quite a collection! When someone smiles, I always look to the eyes to tell if it is real. Well put, my friend -- you have portrayed well the difference between a smile and a smile. --Me Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his bones are coral made, Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange... --William Shakespeare, from The Tempest |

This is the first glimpse I've gotten of your poetry and WOW! I really enjoyed this, and a true smile can definetly be seen in the eyes, like mine In flames I shall not be consumed, but reborn. -- Abrahm Simons |

Ruth - say what you like m'dear, you know my ears are open! Satiate- Shhh! Don't tell anyone, they wouldn't believe you! You'd lose all credibility!!!
