masked ball

we hide behind words, like revelers at a masked ball. each understanding why the other can never reveal himself fully. hiding instead behind gaily colored lanterns and other festive embellishments. how beautiful then, when we loosen the ribbons of our capes and naked ourselves on the floor. to weep, to laugh, to choose. i'm on my way.

i've never been
and think first of a scene
from Amadeus

cautiously looking,
like a child
but knowing better

how well
you capture
the imagined moment

i think it depends on who is writing or talking you know. most communication is non-verbal anyway. i think you show a lot in your writing. not everybody does. some are masters at making it appear that they are, though. i'm not knocking anybody's form of expression. i just often think we lie to ourselves.
