Tattooed Masquerade

Let the Masquerade

Begin to dance

With hypnotizing vigor

Pulsing to a different beat

Inducting wall of mirrors

 

Detach correspondence

Shadows those true emotions

That make the heart accelerate

Quivering the fanciful passion

 

The masquerade in full swing

Gyrating to a toxic rhythm  

Gravitating without direction

 

Conductive desire hides

Behind wall of cement and mortar

Disguising underneath friendship

Becoming a chameleon of sorts

Playing safe becomes the resorts

 

While love avalanches

Ebbing through engorged veins

Migrating to the enthralled heart

As overactive hormones sing

 

Tattooed masks clearly inked

Holding firmly in place

So the true nature doesn’t escape

The contradictions of words. Of dark and light. Of the demons play behind the walls we press around our bodies. Abundantly you play it so fluently. As your poetry becomes the music and your words the masked words. The crooked ways and empty eyes dancing in the highlight of fire lit eyes. Your words are a revelation of sorts and a deep interwoven look into the reality of life, yet the fantasy of interpretations buried inside the soul. I love it. Well written. A crystal eye of sorts. Deep. Patterned. You know what you're doing and your words are perfect. Well done. I love it :)

The title itself makes me think but this piece leads me to ponder is it trying to hide something that is already hidden, nice work.

the capturing of movements in a circle, the moment as a pleasure,
hypnotic stares and magical inhibitions, you bring the dream to life
with an artisitc authority of a state of heart to govern the reason,
beautifully invented work, you express the pinnacle of dawn. loved it ^_^

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

reading between the lines,this is so hard to define,misty lil notes,twisting lil quotes,revealing only one task...to hide behind this mask...nice work here.

Loved the idea of a hidden identity that can never be removed. That no one can truly see the darkness that is within. Loved this! Good work :3

[Tina Kline]

The dance of love and desire, hiding who we really are, to afraid to let others see who we really are for fear of rejection. A truly outstanding poem!

I don't know. I believe we learn to accept less and that is a masquerade of a sort. I like the complete poem. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poem.
