Behind the Fool's Mask

Moderate, mediocre, mundane
All words that delineate
Commonlike, curtal
An epitaph of my existance

Yet when the moment appears
And the time awakens
For a love to be near,
Lucky am I.

For when I stare into the mirror long enough
To forget the face I'm looking into
I realize, soon, the face that you see
Perhaps there could be more to me?

And yet when I try to fool myself into thinking
That beauty could be deeper down
I realize, soon, the face that I see
Could never be more to me

Yet, you still love me
You have found that key that could encapture a soul
A face to stare into as if one could draw into it
A person I will never see

Magnetic, mesmiric, mirthful
These words are impossible
Charming, cunning
How is it you can see?

Oh when the moment appears
And the time awakens
For a love to be near,
Lucky am I.

Please tell me what you think

    Free flow, free verse, free spirited, three dimensional summary of behind, in front and at the side of this mask. In any shape or form, it is surely telling one, that no matter how you look at it, as decieving may be, it is not false but real love. That hesitation first was judged to have got fonder for the sake of hiding, and finding the one of youyr dreams. well done, Those large words being insightfully obvious, the hesitations. Lovely work.
