This is in response to Sadje’s Weekly Photo Prompts on #Whatdoyousee

My life is an open book

I do not believe in masks

You can see me as I am

Touch me , hurt me,

Even heal me if you like

But I have a wall around my heart

Which you cannot break

Or cross over even if you want

You cannot see , feel , touch , hurt or heal

What’s within…its safely ensconced

I have a perfect armour erected around

But not a masquerade …no

I do not believe in masks

That can slide off anytime

    A very profound poem Geeta! The face is visible and defenseless but the heart is protected. Beautiful. Thanks for joining in.

  2. Such a profound poem! I personally often ponder about this conundrum- how do I allow my heart to be open while still keeping it safe and guarded?
