Painting My Horror |
(«No! this face is only a mask, a wicked ornament, |
illuminated by an exquisite grimace, |
Look and see, atrociously contorted, |
The real head, and the sincere face |
Turned back under the shadow of the face which lies» |
Charles Baudelaire) |
He is profanity in sancity’s guise |
An alias assumed I do realize |
In their eyes, his cause — |
when enticing and cunning in impact |
is still a criminal and evil act |
So look for him vainly, |
He, the incarnation of magickal nature |
He turns unrecognizable even to the experienced eye |
You obsessively pursue him |
Failing to see, hat was why he came to be one who annihilates with such impunity |
He appears your friend, but |
the Saint hides many Satans |
He’s contemptous, you know |
of your Godgiven stupidies |
He calls you in question with |
affected modesty and create |
of you an object of derision |
You think him to be pariah |
whom company does exclude |
But in the midst of all frenzy |
He is — feasting in a transitory mood |
Passion is a strict lord |
He is also its humble slave |
When bereft of common ways, |
He strides before you on water |
He makes clowns of kings, |
charm the guests, rides the ball |
Is the master of disguise |
Prince of the thousandfold face |
the charming jester’s smile |
which invites reason to demise |
and imaginations rise |
Inscrutable yes, venting his spleen |
Somewhere night and day between |
Is the master of disguise |
