Carole Duet Poet Rhyme

Cloak and Dagger

Sadness has overcome me,
fear too.
For all that I know,
I can't tell you.

Secrets abound
and I'm underground.
Cloak and dagger,
faces and facades,
diamonds and pearls,
more than I wished for when I was a girl.

Freedom comes like a windy day
and I miss it when it blows away.
I snatch the light
as it passes by,
looking for happiness
in the gleam of an eye.

I love how it is written and the feel in it very much, Carole. This is a read that will stay with me in a most emotional way. All the best ... CayCay Carole Duet January 27, 2017 at 9:42 PM Thank you, CayCay. I'm so glad you were "feeling it". When I first wrote this poem for poetry.com it was banned because of the word, "dagger". Can you believe it? lol Anyway, thanks again for your comments. Carole
