Veil of Expression

image@google

No mask, no wrap,

no pretending gesture,

my heart is dipped in

true color of soft emotion.

It's lucid enough to know

my candid-self inside,

but you are misled oft 

by a thin veil of expression.

Warm or cold expression

over innocent face of heart,

wavering, flapping, drifting

in wind of inner compulsion.

Although with fair intents-

sometimes to cover scar,

sometimes to overlap fervor,

isn't it a human intention?

Though it camouflages all,

yet flares curiosity for glimpse

of the features underneath,

revealing captivating impression.

Don't you strive to pierce it 

with an inhuman perception!

as my veil is too transparent
to conceal my real reflection.
