Diverse ...

veiled existence ...

I have faces many more,
many diverse faces
veiled in mine.
I am one in many
yet many in one entwine.

I walk with my head held high,
I laugh aloud at the inky-blue sky.

I toil and effort with eyes cold and fiery,
lips complex withdrawn yet strangely flowery.

Sometimes the days would be hurried, hassled and faded,
still I will brave all struggles with passion wild and naked.

I dance and sing in ecstasy and mirth plenty,
at a falling rain, a bird’s tweet or at nature’s bounty.

I transact, bargain, co operate and compromise,
I flutter like a butterfly and like a meteor I fly.

I stand taller on my toes, tear apart the Sun and peep within,
I love like a passionate storm, like a soft dew drop, every combat I win.

Yet alone in the solitude of the night I cry,
hiding my face among many sobs and sighs.

I have faces many more,
many diverse faces
veiled in mine.
I am one in many
yet many in one entwine.

There are many faces to this write.
Each one discribes a range of emotions.
Love the premise of this...Nicely done.

I like the enigmatic quality of the poem~especially this stanza repeated that introduces and ends~ there are several interpretations to be gleaned from this that could range from biblical to personal every day gazes into the word as the world gazes back~ much enjoyed~thank you

Powerful.

Days of Solitude, sometimes crave deep into the heart, makes us wonder what life has meant to me, and how it has carved into; loneliness, sometimes, turns painful. Yet the poet puts on a mask on her woes and faces every challenge face-to-face.

Surreal poetry. Really Powerful.
