Within The Art

by DragonSkulls

~
Within the art of masquerade,
I free my muse to guide the pen
and trust what comes through sweet charade,
content to follow blind again.

I could be king that rules his land,
within the art of masquerade.
Perhaps the queen that took his hand
then broke their vows through love betrayed.

A boy who gives his life in trade
for freedom his dear country shares.
Within the art of masquerade
my muse becomes the cloak it wears.

A little child with growing dreams,
a hero, thief or loving aid.
My life is full through ink, it seems,
within the art of masquerade.
