At midnight the masquerade began
Revelers gathered in disquise
Unaware they were of deception
Hidden beneath shallow eyes
Until the time for pantomime
Death revealed her precious plan
Pandemonium broke out like acne
As chocolate waltzed with Chopin

Wonderful! I love the imagery in the last two lines especially!
"pandemonium broke out like acne." Great line!
I never thought I'd ever see chocolate and Chopin in the same line! Thankfully, I like both!
So intriguing - love your last line. :)
Intense and intriguing wordplay.
"Pandemonium broke out like acne." What a great simile.
Amazing write! Love this. : )
there is a noir whimsy, a foreboding mirth about this piece that I find engaging...
This has got to be the most surprising ending to date.
Oohhhh .. remind me not to come near you at Willow's Ball this year! Nicely written!
I really like this. The last two lines are so, so good.
Intriguing! It feels very Agatha Christie-like. :)
Intense and challenging. Would you consider changing "of" to "all" in line 3.
All good wishes.
That was death by chocolate, I presume? :)
