In the twilight hours, a sense of eerie panic drapes the land
In the twilight hours, a sense of eerie panic drapes the land,
A silent fear, like a shadow of a forgotten truth,
Uncertainty whispers through the crumbling walls of once-reliable faiths,
Institutions that stood like ancient oaks, now hollow, fragile, trembling.
There is a Presidential Election, marked on the calendar,
Yet, the air is thick with a void, a chasm

In the chambers of dreaming, where the night drapes itself with crow feathers
In the chambers of dreaming, where the night drapes itself with crow feathers,
A harbinger of the end weeps silently over the meadow towards eternal rest;
Waltz, waltz in the canvas of darkness that seeks its nest.
Though the philosophers of the golden age embrace the darkened knowledge,
Because their echoes have not pierced the abyss with azure lightnings,

Oh, a shadow of the being in the tattered drapes of day
Oh, a shadow of the being in the tattered drapes of day,
You play upon the stage of the world with a smile borrowed from another vision.
You are a dancer in the whirl of human bustle and retreat,
A delicate weave of feelings, of desires edged between being and not belonging.
In you, the silk of longing for

Mommee's Divine Drapes
Orange
Thy posture made me forget thy drape
Since the pose was a flawsome cape
How dashing is thy saree
With yellow designs add glory
So slender and superb with style
Serene and sweetest smile
Want to see thee occupy great position
That bestows full production
Yearning to make you Collector ace
For thou are my supreme Goddess..!
Green
Emerald green on my deity
Makes her resemble

The Sun Drapes the Earth
The rays leave stars in my sight.
I had slept with the moon
What took in was the night
6 and a quarter miles away from the noon
It gave birth to light
In its embracing rays
The sun drapes the earth
Oh! The romance ended too soon
As I wake up in despair
Of my illicit affairs
The rooster had laid bare the

Black Drapes and Plastic Fingers
Awhile back my soul took a wrong turn
sometimes I wonder was I a tough birth
did I come out feet first
like a blue faced luge runner
banking right then left onto the icy cuff
launching into a starless pit of nothingness-
Maybe your breasts were filled with booze
not enough nurture.
Maybe a bit to much old fashioned strap
from steppingstone

Curtain Call
Maple trees on both sides of Nineteenth Street
closed down the evening sky.
In a slight uncovered slice a single star
was made to burn the brighter
by this focusing framework.
I wonder, were your drapes drawn not quite tight
to burn your beauty on the night?

The Gift
The Gift
by, Martin Braun 12/05/2018
She came to see me
so early in the morning, casting the drapes open and showering my room with bright light.
Why must she do this? !
This morning she came.
Doesn’t she know heating this room costs money?
Close the drapes!
Today she is here,
opening the drapes. Why is she opening the drapes!?
Stop wasting

Hay there mister wont you grab that gun
Load it up and have some fun
Everyones just dying for you to make them smile

Night Drapes Slowly
Night drapes slowly around velvety skin
and gives comfort to an unfolding heart
As passion's eyes enclose time, we begin,
to foster love, so it will never part
The quiet vaulted sky reflects moon's glow
and overlays your face in silken gold
That keeps your smile like a frozen tableau
Gentle to my eyes, so that they may hold
Lost, descending in a

Behind the Drapes
I always know when it’s last call
That’s when he stumbles home
He’s armed and he’s dangerous
With nowhere to go
But even in his drunken sweat
He knows his next target -
He shuts the windows,
And pulls the drapes closed
Then he’s yelling through the house
I don’t know what it’s about
I’m behind the closet door
Crouched down on the floor
All I can

Faded Drapes
Faded Drapes
Cindy those old deceiving clothes which you
claimed your mother insisted you wear were
nothing but a homeless person's clothing but
could have been faded drapes which might have
been improved with grape stains
You looked wonderful in newer clothes but more
specifically in the newer clothing which I picked
out for and gave to you but I was the
