Masquerading with brilliant smiles.
Realization of deception within.
Diversity is fantastic with
observation of perspective.
Illusion of ecstasy and passion
are unfamiliar on masked illustration.
Alliteration to fit life style.
Incomprehension to the ignorance
that brings solitude.
Continuing defective masked faces.
In a list

Masquerading with brilliant smiles.

this opening comment is so true to most in this so call life yet not many people either seem to or want to see it. we have become blinded to our own thoughts because as you comment with these lines
Incomprehension to the ignorance
that brings solitude.
Continuing defective masked faces.
people wear a mask for that long, trying to conform and comply that they eventually forget who or what they are
very good write -
'Masked Faces'...
'Masquerading with brilliant smiles.'...
really thought provoking line...
seems many here and all through life does just that....
but such is the ways of the human nature I suppose...
pride tries to hold us up even when we are at our lowest...
anyways, a nice written poem here and I/we thank you for sharing it with us and of course me too....

I had to read this one several times ... it was alluring but deep ... you really have a way with words ... it's wild, deep, consistant & so full of imagery ... very well done on this piece ...

That is my favorite part of this whole piece ... Diversity is fantastic with observation of perspective ... An Illusion of ecstasy and passion don't quite go for the unfamilar on masked illustrations but for the mask itself ... you can reject the unfamilar ... but instead ... embrace it ... I get it ... very well written ...

It made me think
I think this is a interesting poem, i like the exploration of wearing a mask and the painted women. I think i read somewhere that Geisha always leave a small patch of bare skin at the knap of the neck I wonder to what ends? On another level it is probably a good job people cannot see all the blemishes under our masks.

I how ever do not agree with you on the fact that people cannot see all the blemishes for it is the scares and blemishes that make a person even more beautiful. I am a open book and to all that makes me more beautiful then most. Thank you so much for the comment.

Deep....
Well chosen words. One without good insight in poetry would get carried away without getting a message. I must confess i had to ponder a while and find a message for myself in your piece. It's thrilling and DEEP. I like it a great deal. Most people are only living facades, question is are there any real people???

There are real people, far and few in between so if you are lucky to run across one don't let them out of your life. Thank you for the comment, I write from within. Not all can see my ink but when they do and understand it is thrilling.

All I can still say is the masks we wear

Realization of deception within
yeah indeed lots of people mask their faces since their real faces are ugly,lots of people act and decieve,great write -
Wow. It is amazing how someone you have never met can capture your thoughts and write them (more like type) into short lines but with such thought and insight to the mind. You have a beautiful way with words that it touches my heart! I have never heard (read) such a beautiful lanuage. It is true that people, as my self, hide behind fake smiles and fake words and never say what they mean. It is a shame that people never say what they mean. Becasue if everyone spoke what they meant then there would be more peace and maybe a less tainted world. Long story short...Excellent words!

If you like this one, I am more then sure you will like, "Painted Memories" it to is simple with a powerful punch. Thank you so much for the comment.

Your right it does go hand in hand. You just can't tell what kind of person someone is sometimes, i guess we all hide behind a mask in some form or another.
A very powerful write it flows very nicely. -
I like this poem, I think it is well written. I especially like the lines...

There are so many people in this world that will hide behind smiles and no one knows just what lies inside of them. You might want to look at a poem on here by Wicked Game called "The Beast Behind Your Smile". she's on my favourites. I think you'll enjoy the poem. Great Job with yours! -
wow amazing is all i can say. your a great poet
-
i really related to this one - so many of us wear a 'social mask' showing others only what we think is acceptable in us!!
Great job and beautiful - im bookmarking this!!! -
it's so easy to "put on a mask" don't you think? Great use of words.
-
I do it for ME...
I always get in trouble when I say it's a lie that women doll up for themselves, because they really do it because of what others think. It might make them feel good, but the MAIN reason is because of how OTHERS look at them.
They can deny all they want, for "denial" is their second child, besides pretty is outside, but REAL beaty comes only from within...

Strong, meaning and beautiful. I can tell when someone thinks about there writes -- and you obviously did this, because so much is compacted into such a few short words, beautiful in every way. Great write.

Powerful and thought provoking!!
very well written, your piece makes many think and take time to want to look at ones outside a bit closer. Seeing ourselves poorly can often times make painting our faces "wearing masks" easier than going bare for all the world to see. Great piece once again!!
Thanks for sharing!!

this is a very well penned poem, i love your use of imagery and description. i enjoyed reading your view very much, and i must say it is one i agree with. best of luck in the contest
-
I enjoyed this view too, I have often wondered being a female if the makeup and all the finery is truly that captivating a factor to a man, or does it truly only serve to attract at that first glance, but then they year to lift the mask and seek more underneath. Thank you for this fine entry. Bunny

Hrm...I like it. Then again I think that Makeup is a total waste of time, money, and energy.
Au Natural is the way to go. -
This is good. Sophisticated, wise almost.
Nice write,
Best of luck. -
very instresting, masks are all people, no one knows the truth inside their being, Weather it be a child molster or a war hero.

I think we all have a few mask
