Behind the Cloak

Will you miss me when I'm gone

did I mean anything at all

as darkness turns to dawn

clasp the shawl  of early  mourning

came with no hazardous warning

Too afraid to gaze into my eyes

as my ghostly spirit passes by

in the light no place to hide

will you turn & walk away

broken heart  would you pray

On bended knee,  in despair

reveal yourself behind  the cloak

haunting chill fills the air

will your words make you choke

on salted tears, craving a smoke

No need for a sympathetic  apology

symphony of my life, playing on a violin

deliverance,  heart- wrenching  eulogy

memories, faded photos of another time

peaceful  harmony , melody of wind chimes

Taste of sweet wine,  poison upon thy  lips

love is a tragedy, Romeo & Juliet

desiring  to grasp the cup, indulge in sips

tis, not our destiny to decide, tragic fate

toast to everlasting peace,  open the gate

Shower Me With Words - Poetic Idioms hosted by Kelvin

Shower Me With Words

There's many a true Words

spoken straight from the heart

Take my Word for it ..

would I lie under a moonlit sky..

Actions speak louder than Words

take my hand show me what you mean

Tell me your inner most secrets

I promise not to breathe a Word

Your beauty is beyond Words

I am at a loss for Words

Your voice is music to my soul

I hang on to each Word..

Some Words are spoken in jest

but,  actually ring true..

Them are fighting Words

put away your boxing gloves

Mark my Words

tomorrow is a new day

What's the Word

the Word of the day

What's the magic Word

open sesame to dreams

A Word to the wise

be careful of your Words

A picture is worth a thousand Words

let's paint one with vibrant hues

One final Word

try to live by your Word

dVerse - Sedoka Prompt - Eclipse

eclipse wikemedia

haunting melodies

float free in a velvet sky

your songs echo in my soul

eclipse of my heart

softly swaying to the beat

surrendering to desire
