The Masked Reality

The drops of rain trickled down her face,  Peeling off the makeup layer.  Aghast were the people who saw,  Purple spots as the mask uncovered.    What they saw so far, wasn't the real she.  What was seen now, the sad reality.  The purple bruises spoke a lot, ...

Mute Witness

Alone she stood, along the unwinding shores Of the vast sea that rumbled often.  The bouncy waves caressed her legs,  And danced around her like a little child.    The rumblings that echoed, spoke in volumes Of the notes of love exchanged there.  She, witnessed...
