A masked stranger beckons in the dark,
Behind the seductive sequins of gold.
He calls my name in so sweet of a voice,
Whispering burning secrets I've never been told.
Tempting me with promised treasures,
With warm velvet nights tucked away in the sheets,
With his eyes so dark, that still twinkle so bright,
And a heart that has broken, though it no longer beats.
Come, kind sir, I beg you, try to make me smile,
Tears so consistent they have painted my face.
But my fiery eyes still burn through the water,
While I bleed in the darkened corners of this place.
The confetti screaming, my mascara streaming,
My soul has been trying, but can you cease the crying?
Oh beloved masked stranger, tuxedo-black danger,
I hope I can still love you as my heart is dying.

a masked stranger calls me... maybe its the danger of not knowing that is so tempting...

I feel like the rhyme scheme is really taking away from the piece, and the elevated language sounds forced. That being said, I do love the imagery - especially the 'seductive sequins of gold line'. There's a lot of gold in here :)

Thank you very much for the input, i never thought of the elevated language in that way, I wasn't forcing it, just putting it out with the only words i can think of. I appreciate your advice very much :) And yes, I like that line too :)
