olden cobblestones whisper amiss-
alas! a "hello" blossoms
at midnight's kiss from the shadows
lanterns adorn the darkened way
as carriage & horse make haste
fog chokes out the oxygen
playing tricks on the eyes & mind
a new moon gives birth to new starlight
the cello & violin strings bleed for you
halfnaked & alone in a gutter of
shivering rain, ballots for *****
pneumonia knocking on the door
of his silent battle of addiction
the decay of his dissention
the unraveling of the psyche
the rain & the cold rippled to your spine
shivering like a newborn baby
afraid of laughter
ophelia drowns you in the ocean
tide of her own tears
delirium tremens-no one can hear the silent scream inside your head
