The Masquerade

It’s the Masquerade

Face to face
Hand in hand
Heart to heart
But is the mask in place
To just hide your face?
Or is your place –
You hidden behind the mask –
Your private face?

It’s The Masquerade
We are all on parade?
The Masquerade
Are we all on parade?

Face to face
Hand in hand
Heart to heart
How will we know
When we dance our dance
If we just “dance the dance”
Or we dance like never before?

Face to face
Hand in hand
Heart to heart
When all is said & done
Do we see one or one?
The mourning star?
The morning star?

It’s The Masquerade
We are all on parade?
The Masquerade
Are we all on parade?

Dacre.


The name’s Dacre.

No I ain’t no faker
Nuh uh
I’ve the steely eyed game of the best of the best Laker.

A mover & a shaker
An Award winning, Style-Setting Maker
Who’s here to take ya
On a journey of Magic & Adventure.

Cos that’s my name.

That’s my nature.

~ Dacre Montgomery.

Coincidences

The sketch painting I did on the right in High School 1996/1997 and was a kind of face essence, vibe-ish montage of things happening in my life that stood out.

Music.

A question of Love.

Dollar.

Cooking.

Singing.

Cuts to my brain.

My Third Eye.

Looking into the future.

The Lion sketch painting on the left I bought at a market in San Francisco in 2013 and when I put both side by side by pure happenstance one day-

I was like …

Huh.

Kind of matches in shape and the background red yellow exactly matches the Lion red yellow.

A Winter’s Tale

Can I compare thee to a Winter’s Night?

Would thoust be cold, frozen, frigid, still?

Or warm like a fire, flushed with desire, filling the room entire?

Warm thick clothing unraveling a treasure trove, spiced wine bubbling on stove, flames flicker the harth, oiled scented hot bubble bath, steam of breath on breath at last-

Winter.

God?

Me ~

“God?
I hear you call my name
& it feels like
Erotic, erotic
Put your hands all over my body
Music makes the people
Come together
Let your body move to the music
All you need is your imagination
So use it, that’s what it’s for
Go inside for your finest inspiration
If the music’s pumping it will give you new life
I can see your face in our secret place
Are you ready?
Yes, I’m ready
Are you ready?
Don’t ever look back
When all else fails and you long to be
Something better than you are today
I know a place where you can get away
It’s called a dance floor
And here’s what it’s for, so

Come on, vogue (vogue)
Let your body move to the music (move to the music)
Hey, hey, hey
Come on, vogue (vogue)
Let your body go with the flow (go with the flow)
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats next to mine
God.”

Kurt Cobain ~ “God is Gay.”

It’s true.

Second time round.

Foul is Fair

Where fair is foul
& foul is fair
Whence came King Macbeth to be?

Or not to be.
Three hags & their prophecy
Where doth they hark?

O o’er there!
O o’er there!

When the 3 Witches come marching in!

O o’er there!

Pity.

“Do not pity the dead Harry.

Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love.” ~ JK Rowling.

“It is better Harry, to have lost those who loved you & saw you for who you truly are.

Than to be amongst the living, who do not.” ~ Mark Bond.

Love & Light

When all is said & done
When the battle that’s lost is won
The end hath come undone
That is when I shall come.

Walking above the ground
Moving with sliver of sound
I’ll rise with burning hair
To eat my ashen enemies there.

The time for mercy past
Eyes & mouth open aghast
Breath of the breath of last
Pulse & beat stop fast.

Despite ash or dust
With the marking of mistrust
Fall to a corpse’s shell
Sent to the delights of hell.

The 3

Over fog’d reserve
Bring to thee
The 3!
The Witches of King Macbeth
Who trod o’er his timely death.
& may The 3
bring tyrrany!
Across the Glen
To thee & then
Cast down upon the sycophants
A curse of which at first enchants
But rank & gone to seed it must
As tit for tat is as trust begats mistrust.

To dust.

#MACBETH

Adieux

Inspired by Sylvia Plath.

Adieu & Adieux!
I’ve had about enough of you.
Patience
Of a babysat, eight hour mutton ragu
Dry and tasteless.

It. Just. Won’t. Do.

You?

Stupid pupil
I’ve expended enough on you.

Wile & delusion
Power drunk tools of intrusion
Pick a part
Rip apart
Leave ’em feeling like it’s “inclusion”.

Cruel fool
I turn my back on you

Achoo & achoo!
Is what I have to say to you
Apologetic
I’ll be wrong either way
This way and that.

I. Just. Can’t. Do.

You.

Rise.

Ancient trumpet call
The oldest sound of all
Not since the Seraphim & Cherubim did fall.

Satellite Call.

Zadkiel stands tall.

Is this a Test?

A test at best
Less-
The One
The Greatest Power of them all
The Harbinger of The Fall.

Eagle soar
Lion roar

Man of the Hour
Show us your Mortal Power

Answering the alarum
Lifting from the asarum
Star shower from above
Third eye reaches out with Love
First & second eye purest Light
Lifting with Its Almighty Might

“Rise.”
