Masquerade
Mysterious faces hidden behind veils.
A
Silhouette, not tortilla flat, but hills just begging to be won,
Quarantined in clothes that’d better come
Undone.
Eyes wide smiled,
Raw look, but…
A love bite – how would it be from what’s under the mask?
Dare ask? No.
Emotions masked.
Mysterious faces hidden behind veils.
A
Silhouette, not tortilla flat, but hills just begging to be won,
Quarantined in clothes that’d better come
Undone.
Eyes wide smiled.
Raw look, but…
A love bite – how would it be from what’s under the mask?
I never
Dare ask.
You the abusers, you know who you are,
With your multi million homes,
Driving top of the range, expensive cars.
Well to do toff’s, habitually spend,
Berating others, with your ‘yuppie friends’.
Narcissistic, know all’s,
You think your the best.
Egotistic, morons, give it a rest!
Animus towards others, less fortunate than you,
Revile them as low life – your ‘golden rule’,
‘Keeping up appearances’ – with kindness,
Such is your disguise.
While animosity shows in your eyes.
Breda Ware.
Dear Poets,
as we’ve been through very special times these days… we decided to offer a corresponding topic. Let’s try to write poems on the topic of Masquerade.
Stay well, take care and let’s hope it’s over soon.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Marie, Adam and Jarek
