Dear dreary evening

Covering the sunset

with your thick billowed clouds

a little sliver of orange

dared peek through

quickly doused in grey

a little sliver of daydream

dared to warm me

quickly doused in real

the lines lined up

in the grey sky

like pages of a journal

daring me to write

my feelings out

what I keep secret

in my heart

goes rogue

once in a while

and I rein it back in

with strings

from my heart

the lines remain

unfilled

on a dreary evening.
