An icy zephyr
Bestows the night...

When I raze each hurt
Brought unsolicited before...

A storm doles out this dismal night
Rain drops drizzle down cobblestone course...

I sit under the tree
A haven for solace...

Will the spell she casts
In time be broken...

Pages torn from the book of lies
Betrayed by the haze of a sad child's eyes...
