Midnight Fortune-telling
Folder:
Love and Pain Echoes of night-time happenings afar
dance in a tangled breeze
Something of the midnight plays
whispering interludes of heart-held despondency -
released in portions slowly
to the yellow light glowing
Casted shadows of past longings
tell the tender soul's fortune
Silhouettes of unforgettable hypnotic touches
dance on the walls to the tune of "Doesn't he realize?..."
Curious "might-have-beens" shift in the night
lurking around corners and passing through doorways
Pain that pride once announced dead and final
resurrects with recollections of reciprocating hearts
speaking the same language
The inward gnawing for lost genuine love screams loudly
only when quiet enough to hear
The true tales of the heart unfold
when echoes of night-time happenings afar
dance in a tangled breeze
