Phantom of the Opera

Phantom of the Opera

Phantom fellow appears in sudden shadows
while soprano performs her number sweetly.
Listening there he masks his heinous visage
disfigured by fire.

Diva singing, "Forever be my true heart,"
with height of passion that swells his lonely soul. 
In darkness bleak she calls out for her lover
kissing his masked face.
