Behind the curtains


The wind whispers by,

Blows my hair into my eyes.


The sun warms my back,

And casts a glow upon the dark black.


The place behind the eyes,

It doesn’t seem to be what meets the eye.


All is hidden,

Some dark visions forbidden.


Out of mind,

Out of sight…

At least that’s what I tell myself at night.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
