masked beauty

beyond that ugly mask
the beauty slowly
grows

beyond those hideous scars
a thriving heart
bellows

beyond those
pursed lips
a little prayer runs

beyond those
icy eyes
the fire glows
anew

let hope kindle
the soul
let passion find its flow
let time break through
the shackles
for once
and fly off
I wish to stay
I wish to stay
I wish to stay

within the caress touch.
