Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

Lost Inside

Haunting lyrics touching the heart
Floating on silver moonbeam trails
In silence the voice inside cries
Misting treasures of things
We should have said
Things we should have did
Things that died deep within
Emotions bottled up inside
Deep within the broken heart.

Moon dressed dark velvet skies
Sun faded into the midnight oil
Songs played forever etched
to a solemn broken soul
Visions danced like in a dream
My arms reach out to the shadows
Now only haunted by darken skies
Light that has left my eyes
Shrouded memories of days gone by.
