Behind
the Mask
Part
I
Behind the mask is a woman’s beautiful face
She wears the mask with grace
Behind the mask
Is an image of bask
Behind the mask are the hidden eyes
They do not behold the lies.
Her body and mind stands for a trailer of pride
Coming from tempest’s of secrets inside.
The carnival mask is a tool of play,
An instrument to obey
Like the play – ‘hide and seek’
She turned invisible for the trick.
The mask, the protective gear, and a set-up trap
Is a run-up prelude
To an attractive mood.
Behind the mask
Is me, so do not ask,
You can trust –
The temptations do not rust.
Beneath the cover-up mask,
Is the Dear Ms. Don’t Ask,
Her starlight of the green eyes
Sharper than ice
With power to confuse and seduce at once,
Do not try to ask twice!
Part
II
My dear Ms. Don’t Ask,
Take-off the pompous mask.
The kindly eyes don’t lie,
Just try.
Sweetheart, trust –
You must!!
I can turn my darling in the butterfly!
I promise, we will fly
Very high,
In the sky!
Don’t be shy!
O’ my!
Dance, dance away into the night,
Everything will be all right!
Music is making my heart skip the bit.
Let’s drink for the wit
And friendship’s commit!
