WHO I AM

WHO I AM

I am different,

I am what I am,

I am made of brightly coloured fabric, 

in a sundry pattern, 

flabby, each point with a jingle bell at the end, 

that makes her smile to the sky, 

but she can't see the difference.

I am her protector 

during decadent activities, 

no one can impede her dreams 

I will take her out of her safe cocoon, 

the show must go on,

jubilation!  I am her casting director. 

She lives in a haze of darkness,

a phantom in the night 

wearing fancy dress,  red lips ?, 

heartless glinting eyes that tells a story 

hidden behind the golden mask.

roaring without moaning 

dancing her sweet charade 

a dance of lies, a gaudy ball 

a parody of love and scorn. 

She needs me in this masquerade 

her solace for happiness 

her night overflowed with warmth and tenderness 

my love and caress never to fade

A write embellished with fine descriptive phrasing and sincere interpretation gives a wonderful demonstration of your approach to poetry.

Pure uncluttered work which does not deviate from its path.  

Your writing is a joy to immerse yourself in !

Keep up the great work !

Warmest wishes.  :)

Thank you Richard for your inspirational comments.  I woke up late this morning after a masquerade party of a friend.  I wore that mask the whole evening# No one could see my face sweating,  laughing,  roaring,, ### it inspired me to write.

:) It appears to be a Venetian mask ! Always wanted to be in Venice when the masquerade events are happening because they seem most adventurous.

Thank you for sharing your creative leanings.

Warmest wishes.  :)

:) I have been to Venice twice in high summer to sample its delights and am immediately struck by its beauty and character on arrival !! It is a place to lose yourself, and to be carried away by the spell-binding nature of it all.
