Unmasked

[JoelJosol]

The masks last night worn under the Halloween full moon

Were kissing each other on the floor unmindful

of beer cans and confetti lying around them.

 

Strange masks, each one celebrating death, blood, and gore

When the wearers meant to enjoy life, to catch a glimpse

of wandering eyes looking to lock themselves in yours.

 

In this side of town, every night is Halloween

As hands catch another, lips lock with another,

Sucking life in from each other.

 

In the morning, exposed by the window light

are bodies littering the floor from another night

of revelry, bare and unmasked.

Sucking life in from each other.

 

A vivid line JJ.

 

I also liked the irony of ...

 

Strange masks, each one celebrating death, blood, and gore

Lovely stuff. Scare the pants off 'em. I watched Nosferatu... My wife went to the neighbours.

I agree. Thanks for bumping this, Joel. I must have missed it the first time around.
