Laughter in the foyer, yet I see no one is there
A whisper in the stairwell, almost like a prayer
The rain is falling furious, hard and wild's the wind
And weighty is the meeting that I must soon attend
There is much to do, in these strange and faithless times
I must make haste and heed the ringing of the chimes
I behold an image close, at my open gate
Haunted is it's essence, a dreadful twist of fate
A shadow near the bower, a sigh I can perceive
I shall cease my story now, for you would not believe-
Now the sun has broken, and as the foliage dries
Magically I'll depart on a white winged horse that flies . . . .

I wish I had written this...but since I did not, I am glad you did!

Phantoms of the night, so to say... Your midnight muse covets thee well..

Bon chance your weighty meeting
may it bring your dark some light
and this pain you feel be fleeting
for your choice no doubt is right
in the mirror be not browbeating
for your own time is finite
I suppose that I'm entreating
bring some day into your night
