Illusions In The Dark

Elegance dressed in shadows

Creating illusions of a dance in the dark

Leaving me breathless with eyes closed

Ignites a friction creating the spark

Pretty dreams of a lover once supposed

Stumbling for soft words contrasting stark

Ever to be found in your embrace, surrendered seen, exposed

    How the bloody hell do you keep managing to produce work of this calibre lol. Honestly, Kelli. Any of your entries thus far that I have read could easily place, if the Vocal noggins were wise enough! Well done. Love that first line...and how it just sets the scene. Such a way with words!

  • So poignantly beautiful! Loved it!

  • Another beaut, Kelli.
