Mask

Half dozen masks I do have

You want to see that?

I do wear as I wish

You want to see that?

 

Cheeks are red, lips wide spread

She has got it Stealing mine.

But she is my cousin.

How can I not… Feel happy.

You want to see that?

 

I stand in front

Look straight and bold and tell

I can do. but

Heart beats inside.

No one hears that.

You want to see that?

 

I do frown and hide my pleasure

When the naughty little one

Try to hide what she does.

The clever little imp is always like that.

Standing there As If she fears.

I can’t avoid.  As I want not to spoil her.

You want to see that?

 

I did the same to my mom

Feeling sorry for what happens

But did that happen

It’s done.

But I do stand as If afraid

You want to see that?

 

Tears roll down

weeping for a day when

Granny passed away

Don’t know why

You want to see that?

 

Calm is my face, Lips so tight.

But eyes are steady.  I hold her hand

In the sick room, I am with you.

To cry and to care.

In a minute I come out,

Off the room and off the mood.

But it gives healing.

You want to see that?

 

What did you said

See the face

Alas, It is my privacy
