Me, Myself & She

i'm slow dancing alone
with a gigolo moon
while tattle-tale stars
sneak & peak in my room

whispering breezes
tickle the mood
as lyrics and melodies
inspire a groove

traces of loneliness
creep through my window
disturbing the ambiance
of soft candle glow

tears of the sky
splash softly and hiss
then slide down the silhouettes
that hide in darkness

the bosom of my bed
caresses my head
with sympathetic pillows
and an affectionate spread

the walls lend support
with their tentative ears
and sing a-capella echoes
of each word that they hear

silence never sounded so lonesome
when she was around
i saw laughter in her eyes
despite the blues in her frown

the darkness wasn’t so heavy
and never lingered so long
because the union of our bodies
birthed many a dawn

now there’s nothing to comfort me
but silky wayward winds
fleeting incense smoke
and this emotional pen
