Midnight Silhouette

Shadows curl along the midnight floor

Footsteps echo secrets at my door

Smoke and silence tangle in the gloom

Vibraphone whispers in this haunted room

Dreams are drifting somewhere past the blue

Lips trace stories left untold

Velvet nights, growing cold

Dance with my silhouette, lost in the haze

Tangled in questions, and wandering gaze

The world melts away as the jazz bass plays

In the grip of the night, I wander ablaze

Late light flickers on an empty chair

Ghosts of your perfume drift through the air

The city’s hush plays a brooding refrain

While truth and illusion gently entwine again

Whispers of longing unravel my chain

Lips trace stories left untold

Velvet nights, growing cold

Dance with my silhouette, lost in the haze

Tangled in questions, and wandering gaze

The world melts away as the jazz bass plays

In the grip of the night, I wander ablaze

Maybe the dawn will know my name

But now, I’m a portrait in monochrome frame

Flute sighs secrets, low and sweet

Moving in circles with missing beats

Dance with my silhouette, lost in the haze

Tangled in questions, and wandering gaze

The world melts away as the jazz bass plays

In the grip of the night, I wander ablazeFade with the morning chill

Broody dreams linger still
