for the problem I had with my employer
the promises made
were all a masquerade
dim lawyer, turned out to be a naysayer

As NBC anchor made millions.
Suspended while lying during a muse;
Credibility unnecessary to move to Fox News.

Intoxicating senses, driving madness to insanity.
Intense betrayals soundlessly distract, unmasking secrets.

Words and Their Effects

Worries etched in despair and blood.
Outrageous attempts to masquerade us.
Righteously hidden in the wrongs.
Drowning out the truth.
Significantly affecting youthful minds.

The Masquerade Party

The masquerade party theme was to show
What your love life is like for all to know
One man without blinkin'

Premium Member Would You, Little Red-Cap?

Little Red-Cap, I can see
no wolf would ever bother thee.
You'd not buy the masquerade
of his best laid plans, misplayed.
As I'm not the lupine brand,
would you gently take my hand?
Form: Rhyme

Masquerade

A mask
Left without face
Guarded a man with scars
Kept him in lonely seclusion
The public made him a brutal nightmare
Took a matrimony with shadows
Evolved into a myth
Story of hate
A mask

Premium Member Masquerade Dancer

Masquerade dancer
lifted into the ether
light and lithe

Masquerade dancer
jealous of his partner
wanting to be wanton

Masquerade dancers
hiding secrets from each other
trusting no one

Dancing May Be of Waltz

in sweet there's no sour
sour can be mixed 
to make disguised face
masquerade may be fixed

real is real hides inner 
union may be false
in true love in all condition
dancing may be of Watlz
Form: Rhyme

Masquerade

Poised 
in innocence, 
Quite 
the masquerade 
Everyone's 
a fool 
Very 
well played 
Her boudoir 
The biggest stage 
'Mirror, mirror 
On the wall,
Who's 
the most cunning 
Of them all'
Form: Lyric

The Entanglement

Beauty is deceptive masquerade
Love is a dark looming shadow
And we both are the nightbirds
Dancing masquerade in the shadow
Possessed by deceptive beauty and
Losing our way in one night of love!

the sultry masquerade of night
kindles a vibrant, fevered blush
lust unchecked by daylight’s grace
blooms blissfully in gloaming’s trance

Makita Xv: Famous Nightmare

The hours screamed
Fine warnings eclipsed
By the science that is
Her lovely masquerade
for no woman upon bended knee
have I fostered much passion
The love of my sexy nightmare
Breast of the famous queen

Masquerade

You deceiver!
Living like a caterpillar
To hide a butterfly.
A shroud of innocence
Covers a fire beneath.
You fool so many
Each thinking he is the first 
To discover
What lies beneath the cocoon.

You Over There

Hey lover!!!!!!
Who would u say u are?
The spear that pierce
Or the balm that soothe
The fast masquerade drum
Or the slow lullaby at night
Think wise and sort these
``cause you can’t be all of these
