Haiku: Mirage

Hi all,

Here are a pair of haikus I've written for Haiku Heights. The theme this week is mirage.

Find your beating heart
In the bottom of a well
Everlasting mirage

Facing pure daylight
Reflection ripples beneath
Reality a mask

O.S.I.: Mask

This week's O.S.I. prompt is mask. I used the poetic form Rondelet in this piece.

Her moon shaped mask
Illuminates in the night sky
Her moon shaped mask
Falls to the earth and her skin wanes
A life once lived in subtle lies
Unravels from the hands which tie
Her moon shaped mask


Peel off the mask
Like petals torn in darkened skies
Peel off the mask
Her vision cascading like rain
Secrets flutter and shadows fly
Naked face mirrors her own lies
Peel off the mask
