Masquerade
I love the way you make your moves
struttin tall in leather boots.
made up eyes and sailin smooth.
But your nights are lonely girl
beyond the look's another world
and sets my mind to whirl.
Chorus:
You keep dreamin girl of better days
but you're lost in the future's haze
you're getting older in your masquerade
how much time is left to guess?
I feel you scared when I'm near you
you entertain a look of gloom
you look so helpless in that room.
Something strange this life you lead
you're in the land of make believe
with fairy tales and crazy dreams.
I love the way you state your game
painted nails and long gold chains
your curled lips your fashion frame.
I'd love to see your long black hair
across my pillow everywhere
imagine how I'd love you there.
Rep Chorus:
You keep dreamin girl of better days
but you're lost in the future's haze
you're getting older in your masquerade
how much time is left to guess?
I happened across your work as a random flash. Kismit, I will be reading more, (as I email myself to mark the spot for use at home) I hope more of your stuff is lyrical, I'm trying to learn to write. I know at my advanced age and all.. but I could "steal" some style from you. I really liked this. I think all of life is a masquerade, and we are all hiding from something. Or someone, even if it is ourself. I prattled on long enough, NICE job, and I will be dropping back for more
Stay safe.

Hahhaha.. i have to agree with Rach totally...this poem definitely has a strong soul to it, bittersweet and perhaps, even whimsical.... Some people just hide behind their masks...and live a life of masquerade, for all their days... GLad u could move your works here, too. Smilesz.. take care.
Eric, This one is passionate and mystic :) I love your writing, it has soul~ I was extremely pleased with your recent decision to move your work here. We do appreciate your talent!!
