Shall We Dance

my thoughts are loud my screams are silent as I peer through a broken windowpane you prance in the foyer while playing taps upside a blood-stained wall your revelations penetrate the rooftop my dreams of happiness have lost their glow a skeleton of forgotten origin undresses at our front door

Oh Richard, such an excellent, intriguing and compelling poem of shattered lives when the haunting past pays a visit. A deep emotional poem with fantastic imagery of pain and despair.. Warmest wishes. ~Susan
