Oratory On Paper

Domino

There's a party at midnight. 

White masks illuminated by the moonlight. 

Find the face that you wish to be tonight. 

Emotions hidden behind dominos, 

leading people by the nose. 

This is how it goes, 

yes everyone knows.

The masquerade is a place of repose.

Leading dances with a promenade. 

Voices speaking songs of serenades.  

Rejoicing in hours of escapade. 

"Who are you?", 

"Why I am Jade."

Imitated names and personalities.  

Forget the formalities, 

ignore the technicalities.  

The masquerade is a place of fantasies.   

With a fake face we can be who we want.  

With a false identity we can vaunt. 

Be your own Michelangelo. 

Just don't forget your domino.
