Let the Dance Begins…
A world that I had never plan to travel
The art and beauty of the mysterious mask
mesmerized my heart and soul making me to go
into the beautiful sacred world of the Masquerades
Crowd of unknown people that wore a mask of disguise
Conversations of the ultimate realm begins as I drifted past
I am like a woman who got lost that was filled with innocence
The darkness began to spread across the whole ballroom of beauty
The hunting had began as the people took a roll onto the dance floor
Music of the mysterious era began its tune as it flow through the room
The spirits of the people were all caught within the net of the rhythm
There is nowhere out of this darkness and yet beautiful playground
Slowly I realized a pair of hands had caught me in the dark row
I wanted to scream but I will branded as a strange weirdo
Calm myself down and I turned to face my predator
If I have to get eaten at this moment of time
I would had given in everything for him
The predator’s eyes sparkled
in the wild darkness
the desire of
this dark
beauty
I will
take
his hand
and let the dance begins
in its own world of the everlasting darkness of lust

Beautiful yet mysterious. And the shape added to it.
just beautiful I love the shape but the writing is so very lovely
Absolutely intoxicating … beautifully done!!
Magnificent shape poem – so hard to get right. Mine’s red wine, please.
I love how you shaped this poem into a wine glass….truly brilliant work!
:3 Grab a glass of it :3 I am sure it will be great^^~
I did download it! Can’t wait for it to be published by LuLu.
A most interesting poem. Loved the shape of the glass! You are definitely talented, but I swear you will never be eaten, LOL. XD
XD~ You can download the high quality version from the mediafire and the wordpress one actually, because Lulu kills a lot of things like the images and I have to switch to Microsoft 2007 to be able to upload it to Lulu…cos right now I am useing the 2010 Word which have much more wonderful features =3
And thank you Diane, it been great having you here:D~~~ haha I hope so ;D
I am from poetry pantry.
great entry.
Amazing skill with your shaped poems…love the evocative moods and language in this…….it draws one in.
no one does this better than you
Thank you, I am honor to bring you this glass of wine, do enjoy and you can always come back for more =D Have a fun weekend my friend!^^
my cup runneth over with delight…..excellent share..cheers pete
Thank you Pete, glad you stop by for a drink!=D Haha do enjoy the dance and the wine
Yes, it reminded me of Phantom also….”Point of No Return”.
A point of no return it is
but I don’t mind =P Well stepping into a world you never planned to, you are ready to face anything that is coming in your way 
Amazing. A pleasure to read, a sip at a time.
Yeah, slow and easy, shall the dance begins :3 into the amazing darkness =P
Nice to see this piece again.
Very unique and admirable job!
Thank you Jingle! Glad you come back again for a second serving! Do enjoy=D~
The music, the lyrical words, the artistic expression all stunning and eloquent. The dance of life is a profound statement as is your words, for we dance upon the stage of life as if at a costume ball, wearing a mask — will the ‘real’ self emerge and a touch from someone loving helps break the spell that was cast. so much to your poem very profound….
I have a poem that is about the “dance” as well. different take, though, a reoccurring theme of mine for I love the tango, it is a dance of partnership.
Thank you for your wonderful comment!=D~ It is a dance that one should never forget as you said the spell had been casted :3~ Feel free to grab a glass of wine too =P And tango is beautiful in my opinion though I am not a dancer, I do admire those who can =D, and yes partnership is important, everything need two hands to clap :3
I think this is very clever as it pulls you to the stem, the mysterious masquerade conjures a party and so many more images. Lovely, Thank you. Gay (@beachanny)
Thank you my friend=D~
Exquisitely done …. loved it.
ॐ नमः शिवाय

Amazing Dance! I wanna join in…
nowhere island
You are in!=D~ Grab a glass of wine and cheer it up =P Let the dance begins~~~ :3~
Wonderful writing and love the layout of the text. Totally drew me in! Seemed more romantic to me than of “lust”, however, lol, too much wine might do that too!!! ~ I’ll need to come back for more, sweetly intoxicating

Solid to read. The lines keep flowing. And the visual is stunning. – bill
I like this world of yours…I “dance” somewhere very similar from time to time…..great energy
Thank you :3~ Let’s dance to the darkness!<3
I can’t imagine how long it took you to make the glass shape and colors all right – and it would be noteworthy just for that – but it’s so much more. Nice work!
I used to do these kind of art last time, I am picking up my skills back actually took about an 1 hour but glad it turned out as a animated scene when the wine is actually pouring out of the picture and into the cup :3~ Thank you for visiting!
wow that cup…..totally gives you a hint of what the poem is going to be about…very sensual, very beautiful.
I could “see” the whole scene playing while reading it.
:3~ Hope you have a nice stay and a drink ^^~ It is great that you see the scene=P!
it is a cup of wine,
lovely shape,
how divine!
have fun,
thanks for the thoughtful input.
