MY VELVET ANGEL

Written by Think.Speak.Tryst and HastyWords   I watched you walk Into the darkness of the room You were dressed in black velvet Cloaked head to toe I knew you came to play But your game, I do not know   Hidden within the quiet I looked for you in desperate earnest The velvet of your…

A QUIET HOPE
