Masquerade

Masquerade

A Poem by Serenity Faith
"

Whose mask is real....whose mask is fake...

"
Pretty naive girl
with your pretty unstained dress
Won't you dance with me?
Your innocence says yes

Welcome to my ball...
He whispers in your ear
I call it World,
be careful they sense fear...

Eyes so wide, heart so loud
as you're spun across the floor
Blurred images pass by
Can you really be sure?

Who are the monsters?
Who are the saints?
Whose mask is real?
Whose mask is fake?

Each face is smiling
yet how can you tell
Whose smile is wicked?
Deceit's done so well...

Such a happy little girl
In the hands of Lie
He seems so wonderful
by the glimmer in his eye

He dips you suddenly
sweet breath on your skin
confusing your mind
not seeing the sin

Lie's World is wonderful
He's charmed your soul
It's too late when you realize
His actual goal

The decorations are garbage
Shiny junk for your attention
Truth wasn't even invited
He wasn't even mentioned

This masquerade, this World
You fell into it's trance
From the moment Lie grinned
and asked you to dance...

Something I came up with while sleep deprived xD

Hahaha one of my all time favorite movies...I was watching it the other day and it reminded me of this poem....unfortunately I can't figure out how to copy the actual video I wanted for this(via tablet), so to find out what I'm referring to...copy the link xD

This one reminds me of the Phantom of the Opera. There's a song called "Masquerade" and everyone was wearing masks, obviously, and dancing and they're all fancy and stuff. I really like this one. Although there's a social commentary in this one, it felt, I don't know, warm and lighthearted--for some reason. Either way, it's a good write.

Yes, its me. The one with the typewriter poem you loved some months back. And still happy you loved it. Love this. It seems we at some point encounter the LIE at some point in our lives, lol. Reminds of when I saw Phantom of the Opera.

Sleep deprevation has worked wonders but not to be repeated often. A superb write. A reminder of what the quality of your work is like. Truly stunning work

as your spun across the floor; your should be you're
Deceits done so well...; Deciet's
by the glimmer in his eye; just a suggestion, to keep the rythm you might want to do 'by his glimmering eye'
Excellent poem! You feel like you're dancing around in circles when you read it. I loved the experience and imagery in the words! Awesome job writing! I find the sleep deprived writings to usually work out well XD I hope the editing helps but you're the writer so you don't have to change it. FYI I'm totally sharing this to my Facebook and others on writers cafe ^.

another great poem from you nicely written if i might say

I have often found sleep-deprivation to be a great inspiration and inspiration to be a reason for sleep-deprivation.
Anyway, this is a great result of an unfortunate lack of sleep!
I like how you personify the Lie and the Truth and let your obviously inexperienced protagonist fall for the former. Innocent naivty can really get you into a hell lot of trouble. Though sometimes it really is hard to tell what's real and what is not, I think some healthy mistrust can really save you at times.
Either way, wonderful work, thanks for sharing!
