Pining for wintry eyes
Formed a habit to be despised
Like the ghost of a cigarette
In an ex smokers hand

Fumbling for icy fingertips
Afraid, blind in the dark
Like a small child
Plunged into a nightmare

Searching for scorching lips
Like a gas soaked kerosene rope
Ready to be set aflame
Burning away into ashes then nothingness

Hidden are the sun and moon
Like an old memory lost in the woodwork
Looking young, feeling aged
Collapsing in the Sahara desert
These thoughts plague a mind
When one is lost in time
Feilding in another state of mind
beyond the unforgiving realms of time
they play their little games
at the casino cosmology

They like to hit the wheels first
you know, just to get things spinning
then they hit the full of crap tables
yet whatever they do, they are still winning

Some of those chips they have laid down
well by our cameras they are fake
here in this place we mastered human biology
you are in our town now , the casino cosmology

Get your hands on the table
you are not playing with that deck
give us what you owe us
you know friends , we take checks

No fun in quantum mechanics
or hydro dynamics
no use of theology
without casino cosmology

Nightwatch

Watching...
The night
enter a fresh new realm.
The same day is cast in different hue...
Vibrance in colours dissipate...
Siphoned,
consumed by the dark.

Watching...
And feeling my presence
blend into nothingness.
This night reeks of
blatant nonchalance.
Careless shadows stretch and dance
as I wrestle with my vision
to determine mindless silhouettes.

Watching...
The trailing taillights
of nocturnal traffic.
In my city that never sleeps.
They simply disappear into the dark
with each tick of the hand.

Watching...
The half moon,
eaten away by the void.
Minutes elapse into eternity.
And seconds beat hard
upon my bastion of hope.

Watching...*
The ground
that lay quiet before me.
This earth that bears my weight...
This earth that has my shadow
shackled to my feet...
Offers nothing but quiet solace...
Fighting to calm the storm
in my head.
How can I forget
Thou art the apple of mine eye
But live to regret
We're but apples and oranges

How can I forget
That night, that day
But live to regret
A smiling lie danced my way

How can I forget
Thou art a lass so braw
But live to regret
There broke a drunken brawl

How can I forget
Such a twisted malady
But live to regret
For it costed my lady
