BLACK S ATIN NIGHTS

BLACK SATIN NIGHTS

A sudden stillness stuns the soul 

A memory once buried in a heart grown cold 

Lives again and with a languid breath 

Retells 

Of untold pleasures in black satin nights 

Broken only by the sun’s rays 

Piercing through the window pane 

Timeless moments of  loves lost

Now

Haunting ghosts in flight 

Scenes thought left  on the cutting room floor 

Replayed endlessly once more.
