Behind the toga of a poet

[median lance]

My timid shadows hide behind the velvet toga of a poet
Casting poems in the mold of your love
Perhaps to perceieve if it's lucid or matte,
Just another lie or true
Building a sky of dreams high,
An ocean of emotions in stanzas for you
In hope to catch your eye

The contrast in this is stunning. Using the 'toga of a poet' as a shield for a timid shadow is a beautiful concept, and lucid or matte is such a fresh choice of words. It captures that quiet yearning perfectly!
Thanks to this, i learned what a toga is today!
