Jolted by twilight

sounds and senses serenade as the sun,
words and whispers possess power like a gun…
perhaps my lingering lullabies made a broken heart believe~
the silence spoken, jolted by twilight lips purely to deceive…
take all the tales I twist so you can achieve~
what delusions your creative mind can conceive

have I made the world tremble?
have you woven your sad sorrows?
is my grammar too poor to perceive?
your wasted time was mine to borrow

my heart begins a million miles away from here,
and the doors are dressed in blades~
drenched in malignancy…
your fabrication is indeed a fabulous fantasy~
so cheers to your efforts; your craftsmanship, a soothing symphony….

Ah papi loving the alliterations and more in this poem, so well written and expressed in such a soul hitting manner! Youv used the prompt in a very different way. And i laughed as i read “ have I made the world tremble? have you woven your sad sorrows? is my grammar too poor to perceive? your wasted time was mine to borrow“ lol! Gosh! Seriously you always somehow weave some humor within your lines! And that is your signature style! Best wishes! Sending you light always
