Blue Guitar

I once knew a man
Showed me the slight of hand
In the blink of an eye, he danced across the strings
Played a song I'd never heard
Poignant and absurd
To this day it leaves me wondering
How I wish tomorrow I were fishin'
Boy I've got a mission
Shake it, rattle and roll
Ah, now, just use your intuition
You'll get less competition
From the clock up on the wall
You are what you are
You dream what you dream
Play on your Blue Guitar for me
Play me a serenade
A simple masquerade
Play on your Blue Guitar for me
'Cause we'll all make believe
Someone to deceive

Masquerade Ball

What is this?
A masquerade 'cross the sky?

Where the clouds cover the Moons Full face -
And the rainbows, colour-tint our eyes?

Sending out candy kisses -
A million and one stars, to shine -

Floating 'cross the atmosphere -
'Tis a good friend of mine.

The Galaxy 'tis wide open -
The door 'tis left ajar -

No Keepers of The Gates -
No more, wandering star -

A Masquerade in The Solar System?
Super Nova's and Meteorites-a glimpse, to a show?

Ghostly Masquerade Ball

Come one, Come all,
To the Masquerade Ball,
Into this dream,
You'll soon start to fall,

Ghostly figures,
They start to dance,
Hiding dead eyes
Behind beautiful masks,

Shimmering forms,
A beautiful waltz,
Sweet sounding music,
That plays on and on,

Watching in awe,
Not able to move,
As smooth moving figures
Dance around you,

This Has Never Been Rare

Incite,
They do.
With a barricade...
To masquerade insecurities.

It took overnight,
To fight themselves...
Over their rights!

And a greed that now sees them seething...
With heated breath felt,
Close to the nose of those they chose.

They see themselves as enemies.
Distrusted with beliefs...
That their way of life was jeopardized,
By those that despised them.

But none could do that better,
Than they do it...

I Needed To Be Naked

When I began to realize,
My insecurities victimized...
Wishes I had to plant good deeds,
Those ambitions I had 'then'...
I made more challenging.
I had to.

I needed to be naked!
Bared with flaws exposed.
And free of masquerade...
That began to entrap me in smothering denial.
I witnessed too many living like this.
Cursed and motivated by pre-meditation.
Dwelling on the surface without depth.
And at a loss to live life with passion.

I needed to be naked!
Bared,
And free of masquerade.
If I had to strip to magnetize my dreams,

Moments of Truth

Fishing for just who has been paid,
To dismiss the red tape usually laid...
With a duplication generally instigated,
To complicate a masquerade paced to chase...
Fakes away.

Moments of truth,
Are often reduced...
To a mocking done with folly!

Disguising the lies,
Told to rise to heights...
Those who become idolized.

Moments of truth,
Are often reduced...
To criminalize those who choose not to hide lies.

Fishing for just who has been paid,
To dismiss the red tape usually laid...

Big Britches

Too big for those big britches...
At the seam they're seen to rip.
No sewing them will masquerade,
The thickness of your hips.

You're too big for those big britches.
Do you care with me to switch?
I'd like to try them on to see,
IF on me they will fit.

I've had my eye on those big britches,
Ever since I was a kid.
I know just how to wear them and stand tall.

I've had my eye on those big britches.
And all you did in them was sit.
Stretching them with a lazy way you crave.

Too big for those big britches...
At the seam they're seen to rip.

On Display

When I first met denial,
It was masked as if casted from my face.
I looked into the mirror to evaluate its presence.
And on that particular day...
I stayed until denial from my face went away.

Self examination is at first excruciating.
Truth on display,
Doesn't fake to a fade or play charade.
Or masquerade its significance.
It comes too real to be felt and adorned.

When I first met denial,

At the Center Of The Cause

It's not just one thing.
It's the accumulation of many things,
Beginning the effects of a downslide felt.
The appearance of cracks gone ignored,
In a foundation once sturdy and strong...
Will fail without corrective maintainance.

And relationships of all kinds,
Eventually crumble if taken for granted...
With embellished arguments.
Or an attempt to convince others something untrue,
Through the convenience of lies, deceit or...
Something else to masquerade truth.

And people continue to do this,
Without putting themselves at the center of the cause...
To gain the obtaining of the 'effect' that is claimed to be,
Unexpected!

It's not just one thing.

That Love For One Another Done

Where do we masquerade now?
That dedicated faith we fake.
The one we parade,
When charades made take place.

And...
Where do we masquerade now?
That dedicated faith we fake.
The one we parade,
When charades made take place.

That love for one another done,
Real or fake.
The respect for our fathers,
Is it real or fake.
The honor for our mothers done,
Real or fake.
And that love for one another done...
Is it real or just for fun?
