Darkened Masquerade

 

seperate me as if one of Santas elf

sharpened as if an arrow on ted Nugent's sling

pierce twice as if the dessert below the darkened masquerade

exit stage left on a health care scam

through universal eyes,

 

Trees hung low in the prison of its deep hidden please lost your keys

shining Heart with the song Baricuda trying to get through to you

climb the ladder to success I must clearly express

those forever eyes

 

when I look into your eyes it is then I see forever

I have been reading poetry

I have been reading poetry for almost forty-six years now.  Although I cannot, after several readings, figure out to my satisfaction what the poem is actually saying, that final line---"when I look into your eyes it is then I see forever" is one of the most brilliant lines I have ever read in my entire reading experience.
