The Naked Face

Respectable in the circle of intellects,

Charismatic till the lights are on,

Receptive when the audiences applaud,

A perfect gentleman in a social setting,

Shrewd administrator in opinion of his colleagues.

The world is a stage,

And he entertains a constant audience,

And so he keeps his mask on,

Not many acknowledge, the stranger he sees in the mirror,

Not many recognize, the man behind the mask.

But when you kiss,

I need you to know that,

Whenever you kiss,

You kiss the man behind the mask,

You kiss My Naked Face.
