behind the mask....

behind the mask....
“The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. ...You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask.” - The Lizard King

insidious stream
washing down
the earth's cheek
with tears abound
chinar trees
lining up
the pregnant belly
of majestic hills
leaves whispering
the unsaid tale.
she rises once again
in the black of the night
walking on grass eroded
hoof, feet the culprit
amidst the maple leaves
she keeps on walking
with a steady gait
eyes shining bright
in the dark
looking out
for signs to confer
the presence of her beloved
the coward
who never showed up.
nowwith a heart
full of anticipation
she waits
waits at the very cliff
she jumped from..
