Under Lights by Nobody: 9:22pm On Mar 26, 2019 |
Under silver lights that illumine our gaze we both stare at the stage before us. And steal side glances donning acting faces that seek to tell differing intents. Under retinal lights that spread on themselves the glances we steal We struggle amidst the wavering walls of the coyness we wear on our faces and bodies that seek to betray our real insides. The lights tell us both, the truths we know. The truths we labour hard to suppress An endeavour somewhat amusing and yet we know, quite foolish to commonsense. But we've been bred by a World and worlds that teach us to be coy actors under the lights. The lights are lights and we envy them for they show us the selves we fear to be And so we both spend our days battling to evade or to accept the message of the lights; to open our beating hearts to their blaring voices that call to each other. Telling us persistently, that we both share a wondrous tale. T.C. (I learn lessons and I tell stories) |
