Oh, Las Vegas…

Cloak Me in Your Pinocchian Veil

I want to go

but no one is to know-

when or where.

To feel not a worry or a care;

to experience the glittering lights

and thrilling sights.

Senses heightened to overload,

 embellishments brash and bold.

A lavishly appointed fairy tale,

 balancing on a bellowed sail.

Oh, Las Vegas-

cloak me in your pinocchian veil

and take me away without a trail.
