Love's Masquerade

Love’s Masquerade Love, you old chameleon, hiding on the edges of truth deceiving the searching eyes playing hide and seek with hearts. Hidden in the doubts of self esteem’s flowers obscured by the shades of loneliness covered in the dust of fear’s remembrance naked amidst the fashionably alone. Love, you lazy purring cat, motionless observer of your world slowly blinking hypnotist gently guiding stumbling fools. Curled upon the lap of cautious time mellowing in patient acquiescence mewing in the background of a dream soft catalyst of love struck conflagration. 1/18/2017 submitted to – Free Verse About Love – Poetry contest
