~Inspiration Born Of Night~

Unspoken words tell secrets ...
but hide between the lines.
Finding solace in the night,
as shadows press for time.

Burning hours no one knows,
while all the worlds at rest.
Mercifully inspiration comes,
passion of lyric be thy quest.

Savor every word and line ...
in hopes that it will last.
For soon the sun will steal the moon ...
the night is fading fast.

Listen for gifted voices,
whispered wisdom ... handed down by time.
No rest now for the poets pen,
they must capture every verse and rhyme.

"What light thru yonder window breaks"...
with the dawn ... this poet may now rest.
The shadows will return with the night ...
inspiration will return as this poets welcome guest.

~Read Between The Lines~

With in the verses written,
secrets and sorrow lie.
Words to express the heartache...
the devastation when love dies.

With in the verses written,
pain is all dressed up in rhyme.
Promises made, now broken,
commitments lost to the passage of time.

With in the verses written,
confessions defend then define...
Detailing all the damage,
read between the lines.

With in the verses written,
hear whispered silent screams.
Destiny denied by fate,
cancellation of all my dreams.

With in the verses written,
desire and desperation dance.
This poet begs for inspiration...
forgiveness and love beg for a second chance.
