Who is he who hides behind the mask?
Be he the angel of music? The Phantom?
Ah, the Broadway play was spectacular!
He who so sought the love of Christine, but his face...
She could not see past his deformity
Whatever beauty he held while hidden
And what beauty he had given her
Was discarded for another
The Man in the Iron Mask
A twist of truth with fiction,
Was hidden by a black velvet mask
And was not hidden by choice
Were his looks offensive?
No one knows for sure
Yet hidden away was he
One rumor being such the twin of Louis XIV
Within the movie
Supposedly Philippe was the twin to Louis
And Louis being first born, was heir
Yet who bore more worth? More beauty of manners?
Why Philippe did!
The two dramas regard the hiding of a face
Yet in a world where all bear their faces
The mask lies in the display of the persona ~ Maggie ~ June 7, 2009 @ 7:58 p.m.
