Lovelorn
It’s quiet, 5-something-AM silence is like a golden charm worn resting reverie, proudly by the lost and lovelorn And I’ve never known that side of the calm; always standing feet planted reluctantly within the eye of the storm Eventually the sun will rise, shining a brilliant spotlight on all the hidden truths and lies; And …

Cloak And Dagger
Turning slowly Eyes meet Lock in an embrace The words in my mind Fall from your lips Like pearls of wisdom Dripping in sultry shades Of day dreams Soft lavender With a touch of grey Highlighting the shadows That dance to and fro Gentle lullaby “Hush baby Please don’t cry…” Without warning Shooting stars fall …
