Lon Chaney Poem (Movie Poem Challenge)

suspense
the ways of fate
the restless spirit
a trap

back to life
the lie
the end of the feud

a forbidden room
her grave mistake
by the sun’s rays

virtue is its on reward

a night of thrills
her escape
the threads of fate

where the forest ends, outside the gate
the maid of the mist,
the girl of the night,
she stands
an idyll of the hills
the stronger mind
the trust

the chimney’s secret
tell no one
under a shadow stronger than death

jealousy grips the tangled hearts
the grasp of greed the place beyond the winds
the price of silence the mask of love
the fires of rebellion
the empty gun
the scarlet car
anything once

danger, go slow for those we love
the light in the dark
shadows outside the day
the voices of the city
a blind bargain while Paris sleeps
the unknown mockery
after midnight
laugh, clown, laugh while the city sleeps
west of Zanzibar
where east is east
