An endless parade of red, white, gold and black.
Beauty is all around and hiding behind a face
that in which is not their own.
Faces of angels and demons
surround the ballroom.
The one night in which the hero
can be mischievous and the
villain can be a gentleman.
Yet, those who dance around in circles
have a certain emptiness in their eyes-
which reveals that everyone has secrets
that are better left in the darkness.
