Debbie Guzzi Poet Verse

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

Andrea Dietrich July 18, 2011 at 7:16 AM Deb, this is something I have enjoyed in the past, taking a challenge and really making it one's own. You took your own challenge and combined it with mask in a unique way that Nette would be crazy not to appreciate! Luv, Andrea
