Beware the Man In the Mask
The mask, with eyes brighter than the most brilliant star,
Reflecting the sunshine & blue Ocean beyond, his eyes twinkle
He smiles, I am dazzled, hypnotised...almost
Powerless I am drawn to him, he is the strongest magnet
I am under a spell of the highest intensity
Drowning in thoughts and emotions I don't understand
He wills me to look deeper into his beautiful eyes
Full of passion, desire and lust
I feel it
He whispers "I want you" softly in my ear
I tremble, with anticipation and fear, of the unknown?
He gently kisses my neck, soft lips caress mine
My minds explodes as I fall deeper, his beard tickles my face
He is real... you are real
Your mouth stokes my ear... "Adoro-te" you murmur
Over and over again
Confirming it with ink on a white paper tablecloth
Smiling, I reply with a delicate kiss on your too enticing mouth
I touch your bristly beard, you place your hand on mine,
"You are in me" you tell me...I am here"
Your tempting lips lean in for a kiss
Urgent, longing, needing....
You groan with pleasure...
You know... we know
The world stops, we return to adolescence
Walking hand in hand across golden sands
We talk and laugh
We kiss, we touch, we want...
The crowded beach is empty around us... we are just us
Carefree and relaxed, we lay on the hot sand
Your white body against my bronzed
I rub cream over your delicate body..I want to protect you
With tender hands you apply protection in return
Caressing me, drawing me into your arms
I am whole, happy, content, floating on a cloud
Living the most wonderful dream, wide awake
Your white legs redden in the blistering sun
"You need more cream" I feel a need to protect you move slowly towards me, your soft skin exfoliated by the rough sands
"Heaven is a place on earth" you repeat, Faro Island....
Special like Fuzeta, special like the train station...
Mesmerised I quiver as your arms embrace me again
Bodies intertwined, our hearts beat faster
Secreting sweat from every pore of our hot skins, we are one
"Tell me what's in your eyes" you demand from me
"Adoro-te Daniel" and you smile...triumphant
Your dark eyes shine dangerously.... A flash of caution, I noticed yet ignore
We know, we both know
Who are you? What is your role?
Are you genuine, honest, or taking me for a fool?
You are offended, you dislike my status
You do not like to be challenged
Shocked to the core of my being
I watch as your mask falls to the ground below
You attempt to clasp your armour, but you are laid bare
"I am fragile and weak" you cry
Yet you laugh at my pain and sadness
Unrepentant you write
Words not of poetry, of love, loss, pain or desire
Words of hatred spill from your hands
Spite and venom, so vicious, cruel and untrue
Resentful and twisted you deny your part
A man I once cared for, a man I adored
Now your face is contorted, you are exposed as a fraud
Your role...
To punish women, for what? I don't know
To fool those around you who think you are pure
To recreate memories, of a lost love, in the past, long gone
Did she see the real you, the lies and duplicity?
I had bared my body and soul, gave my all, as you wished
But you used and abused me
With malicious words and a cunning smile
You write of demons, vanquishing ghosts
I now have more than ever before
So now I write words, as a warning to others......
Beware this man, he wears a mask, he is an impostor....
