Black Angel
The black angel of night,
Slyly fostering dark
intentions in her heart and
malicious mischief in her eyes,
Weaves a tangled web of deceit
leading me down a twisted trail
in pursuit of hopeless dreams--
Chasing the moon or
Catching a falling star!
When the sun rises,
Fresh and robust,
Swaying and dancing
in the soft breeze
bathed in the cool
mist of the morning,
I wake up haggard
to a gray dismal grief,
Unable to separate
the tangled strands
of truth and speculation,
Battered and bruised
with broken dreams!
