Masquerade: A Love Story Poem by Vixen Kaye

As I gaze far into the dark night
This party seems to be ablaze by the moonlight
There are too many people in the crowd
Their laughter and voices seem too loud

It makes no sense to be here
No one will listen nor lend an ear
Because by dawn, all will fade
In this pitiful masquerade

Everyone seems to be hiding away
Putting who they really are at bay
It's a night of deception and lies
And by tomorrow, everyone bids their "Good-byes"

And there you are coming near
You ask me to dance with you here
I take your hand, knowing you'll be gone
As the moon rests and comes dawn

But as we meet each other's eyes
I see no secrets, no such lies
You're the only thing that's true
And this feeling felt by me and you

In this night and in this time
When falling in love is a heinous crime
Where every kiss is a silly charade
We fall in love without masks amidst the masquerade
