Phantom manifestation of
dreams, shadowy figure
Haunting chill, musical notes circulating night air
Awakening, seductive eyes hidden from view
Nocturnal life awaits, vibrating with sound
Tambourine Man, plays his hypnotic song
Our hearts entwined, purring with pleasure
Moments of love, stolen under moonlight

ReplyDeleteHi Alex,
Deleteand a bit haunting..
ha. gotta watch who you run into in the dark...
ReplyDeletethat could be a good...or a bad thing...smiles...
like the tambourine man line...enchanting...
Hi Brian,
DeleteWell, you know some phantoms prowl in the night..it is their restless spirit..and I am all for listening to some tambourine drumming..
I wouldn't trust him as far as you could throw him. Never trust a man who never shows his eyes.
ReplyDeleteHe's just a phantom and there are much nicer fish in the sea, like me!
and the cat doesn't like him.
I thought the design and development was very clever.
Thanks for your comment ~ Eddie
What lurks behind those dark shades..yw and thanks for the return visit.
DeleteLucid and enticing, my friend. Hearts entwined with the hypnotic music.
ReplyDeleteVery cleverly done. Thank you for this.
Gary :)
Hypnotic music does cast a spell..thanks for visiting..
DeleteThe sunglasses do make him look mysterious and cool. I think you pegged the mood.
ReplyDeleteThanks, he just seems artistic a man of mystery..
DeleteLooks like a vampire wannabe I say. Run the other way lol but love and pleasure can't be beat, when given ever so sweet. But if the cat tries to get away, you may not want to sway lol great job with the form too at your zoo.
ReplyDeleteWell, the cat looks like it is fading in the picture
Deleteso it has this haunting vibe about it...
I am at peace outdoors. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with being at peace..I enjoy the outdoors as well..
DeleteI especially love the last two lines! My students enjoyed writing poems structured like this!

DeleteCool style! A phantom tambourine man could shake my jingly bits any day!
ReplyDeletelol..let the tambourine man play..
DeleteThat's like... a double challenge but well addressed.
ReplyDeletethank you...a fun form sometimes..
Deleteohhh. seductively ethereal.

DeleteI love that ending but the opening verses gave me a bit of dark thoughts with shadowy figures & tambourine man playing his hypnotic song ~ Good one Truedessa ~ Wishing you lovely week ~
