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
The soul is cloaked
In a plush velvet robe
Blanketed gently by a pure
Winter snow
Covering what has yet to be seen
Magnified by a sharp pain
Like a dagger to the heart
Carving away
Silently

Cautionary tales of woe…

It's Alright

Sometimes...
it feels like
I live in 
a parallel universe 
Perception
bent and twisted
perception skewed 
But it's alright
not sure what else to say...
When I turned around 
you were holding
your hands up
waving a white flag
total surrender
looking at me 
with a blank expression
and I had to look away 
But it's alright
not sure what else to say...
A cool north wind blew
when I needed some 
fresh air to breathe
there is no return
there is no reprieve
Like a warm gun
pointed at my head
I'm star gazing
covered by an open sea 
wrapped around me 
like a wave
I'm looking directly
into the sun 
and I'm drifting away
drifting far far away
But it's alright
not sure what else to say...
When I turned around 
you were holding
your hands up
waving a white flag
total surrender
looking at me 
with a blank expression
and I had to look away 
But it's alright
not sure what else to say...
it's alright babe
not sure what else to say
there is no tomorrow
letting go of yesterday...
