Masquerade

…this poem was inspired by Halloween 2010 prompt #27 at Writer’s Island.

 

Masquerade

•

when donned the mask
the transformation
smoulders forth
the other

the fantasy
of your desire
carnal fire
on wings of dreams

she is she
and too
the other

unleashed at light
of passion’s moon
a masquerade
to ignite your soul

manifest at your request
sustained this night
at her delight

she is isis
she is venus

she is your every longing
loosed
to bring you every pleasure

she is everything
and all of this
bestowed
with aphrodite’s kiss

as you burn
remember this
beneath the mask
your real bliss

  1. Definitely unblocked: this flows well, shows a neat economy of words (something I’m not good at) and sets the mind racing. Welcome back Rob’s muse.
    PS I love the picture at WI and here.

  2. “she is she
    and too
    the other” I thought this was fabulous til I read
    “she is Isis
    she is Venus” Wow sultry feminine and mysterious all at the same time!
