Lost In Reverie

 you are
the silent witness
that tells
no lies

a mute confidante
that holds
all secrets 

behind the smile

no line or flaw
is hidden

you reveal things 

as they are

without fear
of reprisal

you bare both
beauty  and blemish

with cold neutrality

 the phantoms
crawling
in one's head
the angst and
trepidations
buried deep in
one's heart
all these chimeras
remain
clandestinely
subdued

unless the master
so exposes

and as the day dawns
when you
can no longer
hold your
silence
you shatter
into pieces
carrying with you
a thousand riddles
ensconced in
countless
glistening
shards
