Friendship under facade

Two individuals

wearing different facades,

of veiled identities

stumbled upon each other

one day,

somewhere

along life’s winding journey

through the sands of time

and  started a friendship

over a brief acquaintance,

in charmed  anonymity.

Unknown each to the other

Total strangers were they,

Known only by the guise,

They sailed along.

Never to be thawed by reasons

Nor be vexed by seasons,

Their friendship soared

in amiable curiosity

and pleasant serenity,

Their persona sacrificed

for friendship under the façade.

Treasuring sweetness beneath the veils,

They cherished knowing the unknown,

They despised removing their veils

for should the veil be removed

The façade would disappear

into the bitter woes of reality

and reality can be hurtful at times.
