darkness falls

my mind, and my heart, tend to lean to the melancholy and forlorn...

some things my mother drew...

Some random drawings, sketches, christmas cards that my mother drew...all from the 1970s.

and then the dark

speaks to me

through misty woods

and I 

slip away

with heart and soul

my lips form words

forever more

until we die

even in dreams

darkness moves on the horizon

layers of mystery

casting long shadows

she's entered into a dream

and she

realizes that nobody knows her

no one could begin to imagine

what it's like to be her

as she walks along this empty road

sifting

through the past

with secrets and 

second thoughts

we bask in the glory of our day

until evening comes

the dream seems more real than

night and day

there were no ghosts

the dead didn't watch over the living.

she thought of how

she used to hear the beating of wings,

and now

there was only deafening silence.

forgetting all of

the secrets

that she had told him

and the 

promises that would

never be kept

she turned to him

full of hope

but so lonely

she never dared to ask for more

sometimes secrets just want to

stay secrets.

they don't want to be unlocked.

he saw her smile

and he

wondered

if no time had passed at all
