on a winter's night the street lights imposetheir glow on the darkness that surroundsthe lake and the icy mist lies low stretching silently chills you to the bonelike desperate hands that grasp outto reach for something that is not really thereeven in this dark city gentle snow fallsdrawing a curtain on the nightmurmurs detail the secrets we keep those determined muffled noises behind locked doors they will only come back to haunt you while you sleep© copyright written on February 10, 2010 by JAQ. publishing prohibited unless with the author's permission. artwork by JAQ.
