W hen donned the mask
the transformation starts
when smoulders forth the other
fire and spark
so deep and dark
this fantasy on wings
of ardor’s dreams
she is your lovely
mistress le filou
she is she
yet she is too the other
fey deceiver
fiery lover
unleashed at light
of passion’s sterling moon
manifest at your request
sustained this night
at her delight
she is your freya
she too — your venus
this beauty is your deepest longing loosed
and you her jester
you her mindless lusting fool
she brings sweet things to life you sadly miss
bestowed with aphrodite’s molten kiss
but as you burn you likely should know this
beneath the mask awaits a strange abyss
