Lights are dim
Words like glass
Each face shrouded
By a beautiful mask
Feet move together
Like hourglass sand
Gentle and flowing
Like the intertwined hands
Eyes shine beneath
Ominous shadows of a hidden face
Feathers and silk
Jewels and lace
Diamonds glint
In the fading light
Passion stirs
With the oncoming night
The magic
The mystery
Drifts away as the end falls
On the masquerade
