New Poem: A Message on the Pillow

A message on the pillow 

There is a sorrow within her soul

A memory that feeds the woe

The song with words caressing lies

enticing dreams of silk and thighs

An ache inside seems common now

From grazing lips, so many vow

To love and guide the heart from fear

And yet the stride seems lost my dear 

The hands and eyes convey the shame

As eyes submit to silky games

A slumber needing warmth of skin

Makes tragedy a mask to win

Unspoken are the dreams of day

Due is the rain beeseaching gray 

And time again a plea is said

As rest is needed from her bed

Sweet ignorance is said to bleed

From thorns hidden as heavy fee

And as the sins from old bestow 

What you reap is what you sow
