My Mask Crush

A mask.

Beautiful, yet terrifying.

Like the moon, 

suddenly gone on fire.

Blazing an eternal ice,

of that your eyes 

could never get enough of.

It'll haunt you,

yet you can't help but,

fall in Love.

It's like finding a dazzling diamond, 

filled with mud.

It's designs are intricate,

Stunningly abstract.

A whole other world,

waiting to be intact.

To be discovered,

beneath the covers of feathers,

and rainbow glitter.

Hypnotizing the eyes,

to see a ravishing mask.

None but a truth,

to a terrible lie.

The Masquerade is over,

and the lies are revealed.

Scribbled out your words,

and threw it the fire.

Please take off the mask, my Love,

the party is over..

Oh, my, wonderful! It was absolutely exquisite. I loved it. Really, dearly, and truly. I love masks, well not the ones people wear to hide away but like masquerade masks. It gives a person a kind of secretive appearance. "Hypnotizing the eyes, to see a ravishing mask." "Please take off the mask, my love, the party is over" Two favorite lines. Goodness! Very wonderful, again, bravo. So beautiful and delectable. Good work! - A.E.S

This... is really really really good. I dont even know where to start. The last two lines are so powerful! I really like the first stanza too. Your imagery is phenomenal!

This reminds me so much of someone I know..and an entire relationship based on lies.. It's a great write depicting perfectly the foolishness of the mask.. If we can't love each other as is...then what's the point.. Great write..xx
