Ode to masks a plenty
The vivid colors of life
Dance

Pipettes of golden glitter
Sparkling, reflecting the
Light

The perfumed French pinks
And the blush of skin
Hush

A silk ribbon holding
The façade in place
Black

A flourish of feathers
Tickle your nose, you
Smile

A mask on your face, like am
Intricate map, mirror of your
Heart

Bright eyes spark, glow,
Flames behind the mask
Flutter

Black irises glowering out of
Masks, swirl of colors
Shift

Fairy tale ball, sparked to
Life, he bows and she
Twirls

Identities hidden, no words can
Speak, spark in your eyes, masks
Convey

The soft hues of eye lashes
The sharp taste of white
Lace

Two dance, masks flowering and
Of colored gowns,
Spin

A masquerade of different faces,
New day, new face…different
You

The beauty and loveliness of your mask
Congratulations you’ve fooled
Me

You’re the best disguise of all.
