keep masquerading

 



hear those black hearted words from sweet red lips

 

like a sirens song in ultimate persuasion

 

listen as her words whisper there erasure

 

revealing a desire that burns in the taking

 

 

 

short of breath and on with life as the heartbeat skips

 

her parting words they command another equation

 

sight in this night of lace it is my hearts embrasure

 

her voice in a subtle monotone as my heart lay breaking

 

 

 

my soul looped and tied tight with her gypsy’s ribbon

 

with the reach of her hand feel the velvet wrinkle sigh

 

the ghostly moonlit wind calling in the summer’s sadness

 

as she says, "it is best for us both, it is me, not you, that is aching"

 

 

 

the night crawled like years she’d taken more than she’d given

 

a star studded sky like jewels that twinkle in her eye

 

as my heart died in the darkness there this love in the valley of madness

 

leaving me alone with a feeling that I’ll have to keep masquerading

just what men do

 

at least what this man did and to some extent still does

 

we keep it all bottled up on the inside

well, I have the release of my poetry


"One of the best results of life, is the torment of love"
