End of the masquerade

Concealing the physiognomy,

Throwing dust in reality's vigilant eye,

You bought yourself

A charismatic mask,

A hieroglyph of perfidious delight.

The camouflaging aspect,

Complementing the suspicious domino

Has hidden much of what lies behind

Those effervescent black eyes.

Hide as hard as you can.

Because

Truth wins,

And it's only the intentions 

Which can be fancy dressed.

Author's Note

thanks for reading.......Looks somewhat like the mask on the cover of E.L.James' Fifty shades of Grey;)

Ah yes, one can dress the lies up in a fancy costume, but they are still lies. Great choice of vocabulary in this poem. I enjoyed it. Lydi**

I hope you're right, I hope truth does win!

[fattycbreezy52]

It does even after we may perish or die:)

Your vocabulary and overall command of language are always impressive, FCB... what you felt while writing this is easily transmitted to the reader...i felt the heaviness of betrayal, yet, sensed your strength in being able to say it to the person hiding behind the mask... another wonderful piece, but we've come to expect nothing less...no pressure :D

[fattycbreezy52]

Haha you can always expect from a poet FT....He gives people a tour of emotions haha..Thanks a lot for a superb review:)

You inject a sense of betrayal but defiance into this one FCB. Your word choice shown not on;ly a great command of the English language but their meaning and impact are just right.
