always we wear these masks
as if life were a masquerade ball
.Ꮙ.
are we concealing one from the other?
or trying to cover our lust
if temptation should pull us to another?
.Ꮙ.
either way
we’re hiding our truths in the night
giving deception sway
.Ꮙ.
always we wear these masks
for life is a masquerade ball

Sexy and mysterious. We do hide behind our masks. At midnight, let’s take them off. xoxoxo
i’ll do it if you will! {grin} well, i will with you ~ i don’t know about with anyone else. ♥ love you! ♥
Dani…
I’ve never seen anybody kill as many writing prompts as you’ve just done.
Fantastic accomplishment My Friend.
Loved your contribution.
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
{smile} one time i did two 3-word prompts, 2 or 3 photo prompts plus at least 2 one-word prompts in one post ~ it was quite tongue in cheek {John Wayne eating a falafel} and really was fun. usually though, trying to do more than one prompt at a time just ends up with really bad poetry. at least when i do it. {giggle} thank you, G. you’re always too kind. have a wonderful weekend yourself. ♥
I am sometimes in awe of how you can combine and kill prompts all in one post *smiles*
This is wonderful share as indeed we all hide under a mask, or another “face” in this masquerade ball. I still have to post mine in the Jam…. See you~
i’ll be by to see your poem after you post it. ♥ sometimes i write a really bad poem because i’m trying to use more than one prompt. {smile} thank you for your visits and kind comments, Heaven! ♥
Good write – balances dove-tailing repetition and brevity into an effective, enjoyable piece.
thank you, Steve! much appreciated. ♥
creative.
lovely 55.
thank you so much, Jingle! ♥ i really appreciate your kindness.
what is temptation but the desire to know mystery…and mystery is not a bad thing now is it…smiles. lovely verse..
hmmmm…… an interesting definition of temptation, brian. i’ll have to think on that for awhile. {smile} thank you for your comment! ♥
As long as life’s a ball…
{smile} i hadn’t really that about that part of it. thank you for your visit and comment, jinksy! ♥
I’m with Brian – I like a little mystery…
{smile} thank you for your kindness in visiting and commenting. ♥
Truth howsoever cannot be concealed to the conscience….
Creative combination of so many prompts….
Lovely write!
thank you for such a kind comment! i appreciate your visit. ♥
This is excellent Dani – and so true. We all wear our masks at times.
Anna :o]
thank you, Anna! ♥ i don’t think we’re even aware of it sometimes.
Oh this is lyrical and a bit haunting, I think. I enjoyed it!
thank you, Jeanne! ♥ i appreciate your visit and kind comment.
