~ Beyond the Masks… ~ 
☆
In the mystic caverns,
So deep and wide,
A latent power stirs,
where secrets reside
*
Hidden from the world’s
intrusive gaze,
A truth lies, veiled in
in frozen, silent ways…
*
The world beholds but
a masked disguise,
Unaware of truths, in
those hidden eyes…
*
In nocturnal gloom, when
tears fall like rain,
A fierce scrutiny rages,
through joy and pain
*
Yet, amidst the volcano’s
chaotic fiery care,
A paradoxical calm aspires
silently once more
*
A thousand faces born of
the artifice and guile,
Transform passion’s fire,
to a whimpering smile
*
From a hidden realms,
a form appears,
Bearing a fleeting duet,
through joyous tears
*
A mystic dance of light
and darkness entwines
Two souls in union, in
fleeting, mortal shrines
*
Once more, the stark
darkness beckons near,
An inscrutable abyss,
that draws us in fear
*
Into the same familiar
cycle, we’re bound,
A serpentine path, where
shadows spin around
