Dark Places To Play

by Michael J Falotico
                                         My steps are slowing.

                                 Sunlight fades as shadows crawl..

                                        Soon covered by night.
                           
                                                     Dark

                                                    places

                                               to write from

                                        where hidden thoughts

                        dance without being seen while they play free..


just having fun with two forms
connecting..

Has a kind of haunting echo to this verse that soothes the mind. A clever verse Michael

I love writing dark but interesting pieces. There's something mystical about them. Thank you for showing us this beautiful work of art!

Very beautiful! "Sunlight fades as shadows crawl" this line is very picturesque.

just luv the clandestine atmosphere of this piece and the two forms work very well together Michael luv... we all seem to have those secret coves where true words can exit onto pages expressing inner feelings .. excellent my White Knight as your Jersey Girl prepares to lie in the Sun one more day.. with luv forever and always...
