Your two faces
One of them is pure delight,
the paragon of beauty,
blinding like the sun,
compelling you to look away
to just not let your love consume you
prematurely driving you to nuts.
The other is the serious one,
impenetrable in severity,
forbidding rather than attractive,
making you afraid to come too close
not willing to disturb;
but these two different faces
almost opposite in kind
are just the opposites of life,
we wear them all,
like the two classical theatrical opposite masks
which never can exclude each other
although they can never be combined
and are of the same person.
We are all inextricable in complexity
and can not fully understand each other
nor even ourselves.
All that we can do
is just to love each other.
