Aye Forms Masked

An interlude forms around the apertures Brows born of liquid gold arch like the bent rays of the sun Cresting above irises of obsidian black and liner of kohl Daydreams quiver above a cupid’s bow of upper lip Ecstasy awaits the unmasking interloper. Alluring analgesic to the proper, pivotal moldings modify majestic moles, marking beauty beyond the banal, heightening the hardened features of heaven's harlots. M aking the internal mirror the external, A sking the private to maintain its allure by encapsulation. S he satisfies sinful longings by subterfuge. K illing all that remains of her nubile heart. *The verse regarding masks IS masked in 3 forms ABC, Acrostic and Alliterative Form. Contest: It's Mask Time Poet: Debbie Guzzi
