I have looked deep into those eyes
Seen the hurt, the pain and the loss
Sensed the depth of emotions hidden there
Those you locked up and won’t let out for fear.
Come, let us hold hands
Together, form a strong band
To shield ourselves from the pain and sorrow
Come, don’t let us wait for tomorrow.
My heart snaps
At the knowledge that we won’t hold hands
This ache more difficult to bear
Because we fear and in that fear we lose all that is dear.

Merci.

What do you know? I am what others will call me. But I answer only to what I call myself.

On point, though short.
I like this a lot.
It is the fear to dare that keeps us chained.
Break the chain, somebody!

One word. Lovely!

love it!
@kiah am thrilled u ‘love it’. Thank you.
Nice.
@markwealth Merci.
So aptly touching!
@sontel Thank you Sir.
Poignantly evocative!
@myself Am lost. What was evoked?
@Shai, it succeeded in creating (my opinion) a vivid mental picture of man’s seeming inability to trust the other man because of that universally yet unanswered question of ‘what if…?’
Yes ‘distrust’ …of another man or a woman…..
I see…thank you.
My brother, I concur with you 100% and ofcourse, as often the case with poetry….that ‘masquerade’ always has many sides.
You have done well and given me another insight.
You and @bamslib
You have a rather full summary of the play. The question of what if . . . is really a difficult one to answer. It takes courage.
Indeed. “What if….” always stops us from grabbing that which is within our grasp.
Thank you.
Cutely expressed in its simplicity…
I can relate it to Naija situation and revolution, no one wants to hold hands for the betterment of out nation!
nice piece
@Shai, I have actually juxtaposed ur work against d background of prevailing realities in man’s relationship with fellow man. Of course, I supposed u may intend the piece for more of romantic interpretation. But u knw, as they say, it’s more fun wen a dancin masquerade is viewed from different angles. Great piece, I swear!
correct!…
sober- nicely constructed
I am glad.
God Bless /.\ /.\
good work
@nmikeeffa merci once again
