Masquerade

Tristan Robert Lange

Have you ever danced with skeletons
   in your closet?
Have you ever felt the pitch black atmosphere
   smother your thoughts?
Life is a continuous dance,
A ball where death masquerades itself.
We are all our own skeletons.

        So be it. Time for the skeletons to free themselves.
        A very deep poem with lots of meaning. Unique in the way you have phrased it. Much enjoyed. - Phil A.

          On death row they would say dead man walking and so are we all from the day we are born until we lay down not to raise again. Nicely written

          • Tristan Robert Lange

            My skeletons seem to find their way out from time to time, sneaky devils. Nice work.
