INSANITY OF THE PREDAWN
The memory of your smile lingers
The soft touch of your fingers
Lost in the loitering of your memory
Lost in forbidden, forgotten reverie
Secreted in the mirror on the wall
A reflected silhouette in the hall
Of the silken shadow of your smile,
Veiling lurking images of denial.
As the veil of darkness subsides,
The melancholy night collides
With the blushing smile of dawn
Easing the sordid nightmares I spawn
In this irreverent recollection I connect
With muffled memories seen in retrospect
As delirious delusions are luridly drawn
Of you as queen and me as pawn.
