Tim Smith Poet Free verse

Hideaway Nights

A drop of lonely  floats 
into a never ending kiss 
lost folded notes   play 
out in a rewind of time 

Shifting spells the chorus 
foreign answers ring 
-- an empty chair 
rocking through my mind 

Lay down your symphony 
where harmony rests a head 
pull back the covers slowly 
let me listen to what is said 

Colour wraps in soulful pace 
mellow light   dances free 
belief  waits for the butterfly 
as with truth   sunsets will be

Lin Lane July 27, 2017 at 5:31 PM I gather your mystery lady is abroad...not a 'broad.' lol I noticed you spelled it 'colour.' Your toes dangled in streams in the sunlight in another romantic write and now you hide away waiting for a sunset. Such beautiful lines, Tim..."A drop of lonely..." "belief waits for the butter as with truth, sunsets will be" Validation letters for my comment are "mmm" just like this poem.
