Ensnared in the lyrics of romantic songs
dressed to kill with a story to tell
no one wants to hear.
Lend me your ear.
Not today - nor any other day
yet the lyrics weave their spell.
Hollow footsteps up my spine
those of only me and mine.
A lonely echo of a silent voice.
Is there a meaning? who can tell.
Knocked another one out of the park Ray! ?
Great writing as usual - agree with Martin about 'hollow footsteps up my spine'. Jennifer
I'm so gratified to get these likes folks: David, Rachel, Kevin, Damon ,Brian, Anya, Heart of Lead and Dorothy. Not feeling too confident with the writing at the moment, so it really helps!
Martin, so glad you liked that line thanks. Yes, I was in melody territory, and there was a hit for the Four Tops with that title. I hope I avoided plagiarism!
Too kind Stu.!
Ray
great stuff ray as ever with a cracking send off.
'Hollow footsteps up my spine' what a great line '
The title of this piece reminds of the line to a song. sorry if I am being a bit obvious here. But a great poem Ray
Nice one
