Masquerade
trochee

These cheerless pinch of rays
 1
are subdued glints
 2
of a distant pyre
 3
 
 
An envious lover in flames,
 4
a prowler on his shire.
 5
 
 
 
 
Hence, hide your sycamore skin
 6
and the ancient mirror aside
 7
 
 
delude;
 8
 
 
in your bridal box of iniquity.

Erotic insinuations of a voyeur on his shire... Hence, hide your sycamore skin, in your box of sins. or something like that... very hard to comment on this one other than to just say... oh... it was good ha-ha   j.g. smiles

I haven't looked at the picture yet.  The poem stands-out on its own.  Nice write.
