Common

From beneath a veil, A shroud itself hidden, Anonymity It's masquerade. Tired secrets languish, Benighted by nature, Emerald, to pale green and white, from jade. A sough in the head, Of their tepid maker, Whispers nothing, wholly unaware. Crafty camouflage, For the crafter of secrets, Who never knew they were there. The irony aroma, Stagnant blood without pressure, Metallic, unmoved, unaffected. Averse to sense, Illusory marionette's, Clear strings, turbid skeins undetected. And the irony lies, With an off thirst disguised, By the growing pines of set minds thought unique. And as trite as the urges, Desperate purges, Like mewls of the sheep seeking shade from critique.
