Slipping

What evil lurks 

in the heart of a man

who takes advantage when he can

But doesn't have the gall

to warn me when I'll fall

I'll be at the wailing wall

Slipping 

silly little love notes

into cracks

All for a poet

who dazed me with

silly little words

I'm hiding now

wishing the ceiling would 

crumble like

my ambitions 

and I'd just float away

Somewhere high

up

"Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts and minds of men? The Shadow knows." Old radio program heard when I was a kid. Scared me to death, like "The Vice". It might be "...th hearts of men?" Sorry, memory fails - anybody out there over 50 know the line? Cool write. Hugz and more hugz ~Star~

The Shadow! I know it from my Grandfathers comics but he said it was also a radio drama. I'm certainly not to young to be inspired :) XO
