Marionette, Part II
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.

Ghosts
A heart plays charades with a m i n d Guessing the possible out comes of that moment where glances 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.

The Mind & Heart Play Charades
Leave me alone in the night So I may face my demons Weak and crying. Come back in the bright morning When my mask is in place. And my smile radiates more than the sun. For if you see me at my lowest You won’t believe my charade anymore.
