Masquerade

She walks with pomp.
Dances with grace. With finesse.
She has glimmer in her eyes.
Fuchsia on her lips.
Rose blush on her cheeks.
Sweet as sugar.
She is poetry in motion.

Inside, she is broken.
Weeps in silent sobs. In convulsive sobs.
She has thorns in her heart.
Gray on her mind.
Deep blue woes in her eyes.
Dark as midnight.
She is a forgotten dream.

She is the same person, and yet she is not.

    THIS IS SO WONDERFUL!!!
    PERFECTION!

    I mean it is depressive in the sense of a broken woman, a fake smile and being a 'forgotten dream' but from a reader's point of view, this is INCREDIBLE!

    "She is a poetry in motion"
    "She is a forgotten dream"
    beautiful line; a melancholic masquerade...
    But the label "the girl that i was" disturbs me..I hope everything is good!

    I somehow though of the movie 'Fashion' and supermodels when I read this.
    Cold hard truth served in beautifully crafted words, what more can a connoisseur ask for:)

    I've been missing you and your posts, my precious ~*SD*~ :) ♥

    There is such beauty to be written in darkness and you have woven a gorgeous tapestry here :)

    My favorite lines echo @a grain of sand ~ this should be of no surprise to her :D

    "She is the same person, and yet she is not."

    Very profound and excellent ending!
    :) ♥

    Your words effortlessly manage to raise the hair up my spine..
    It makes me realise how such a girl exists in all of us..
    Who smiles when she's broken, who laughs.. when all that she wants to do is hide under a blanket and cry..

    I loved the poetry:)

    Thanks a lot of a lot, guys. Sorry, I haven't been around because of my insane internet connection. This was a scheduled post anyway :S

    @ Grain of sand,
    Don't you worry, hon. The tag says "The girl I was" not I am .. :)
    Its a long-gone phase. Thanks for the concern though. It matters. <3

    and PK and Chintan and all those who thought almost everyone woman has some phases of the kind, i guess you're right. Its a possibility! :)

    Conflict...Conflict..

    I think..it is very difficult to be the same inside and outside in today's world...there is always some corner which is unseen..which only resides inside....

    But, both the sides are part of us..which makes us who we are :)

    Inspired by Lady Fiona's poem..is it? :)

    Best Wishes.

    and he stared in her eyes beyond that glimmer

    to see in heart, caress her in sob

    to say she is THE one, he could take all that

    to see that blue poetry with with that forgotten gray strand...
