‘love is a game’
then let us play charades.
I’ll play the part and sing the song
in elaborate masquerades.

collapse on floor of another's.

Sm
      ile broken in two,
not fully gathering the
                              words
that were played between
          A heart and mind.  

A breath is inhaled slowly so
not to look like a puffer fish.
And then words, syllables entwined
breath out slowly...

"Hi how are you,

Then a smile by both ensue,
the charades of the
                            heart
                      &
            mind
get it right on this occasion
and both are pleasantly relieved.

These ghosts, the come to me nightly
And wake me with what they say
Of their lives and last charades
Spoiled moments at their end of days

My whiskey dreams are so lovely,
Keeping them away
Until the half light of the break of day
Keeping them in the dark, half seen, at bay.

My decisions may haunt me,
Like these ghosts I once betrayed,
Like these dreams see in night after day
I surrender, I give up; parlé

Because you don’t know what it’s like
To be haunted by you
To be haunted in the night
By love.
