Masquerade You shimmer and shine Like hues in different auras Floating like a beam of sunlight Your work, just simply astounding Yet again, another pathetic performance But your consistency is mesmerizing I for one must say I stand in awe But please, an encore isn’t necessary After all, I know of all the yesterdays And of your authenticity, well at least once Your past just a repeat execution That grinds the filter for future Unfortunately the curtain will have to fall Your audience has long gone south That is, all but one last soul He waits for his spotlight You see his critical review is in And it seems your son is no fool He watches the lights fade to black You’ve played your last egocentric tragedy Marina Apr. 21/2001 It is a blessing to have wings for words, and passion in pen |

Marina, this is an amazing piece......  and be damn those common actors that parade us in full drag, prostituting they're self image as if we don't see the mask. This is a cool direction for you go with it. James |

There are those that do parade in front of the masses, and we do wonder if they're sincere or not. After all, it's hard to do the same thing with that "consistency" and still be doubted. But why do we doubt? Because of our own feelings for the person that we envy? Or is envy not the right word here? Sorry, just some thoughts that came to me while I was reading this. It's very well done. passion is life. . . ~Diana |

An amazing read. One that's not to be missed, but replayed once more. Superb. "I am not now that which I have been." |

Good read. I think we've all known at least one person like this at one time or another. Very well said, but I only hope the son saw enough to not repeat the performance. |

James, this is a write itself at that moment of anger, sort of piece. Thanks for the support. PV, No, I would defitely have to say envy is not the right word here. There are those who pretend to be someone they are not and are VERY obivious to those around them. I apperciate your comments and the read. Julian, thank very much for such a high compliment. Gemini, thank you. I have no doubt he has seen enough to last him a lifetime. James, thank you. I always appercaite your comments. Waseem, thank you. Jan, You know it girl!!!
