My Soul's Lament

by Melissa Arel



There are cracks in the eggshell ceiling
Leaking out my deepest secrets.
The shadows on the dimpled walls
Taunt me in my blackened distress.
My kisses fall in caffeine-stained cups
Brooding with my sweetened tears.
I drink away my sorrows
By the blue glow of the tv screen
While entertaining angels and unspoken dreams.

Caffeinated kisses make for frenetic foreplay, too bad their passion drowned in the blue light of television. Great read! :)
