I just can't sleep on some things
on certain nights*
especially that one thing
about hearts being
intertwined
some with barbels,
and some with warmth
it's just a matter of fate
to find the one
*which ache

a chance taken straight
into the heart of the night,
carrying on the good vigor
which held onto so tight
the splash of lights
and rumbles of engines,
feeling the winding road
eat up with waning mileage
the heat of the car will keep
my loneliness from icing,
the swaying of the curving roads
will accompany the stars tonight
just the road and me,
keep on travelling
into the far
extremes

nothing to keep my mind company*
at the dead of the night
only the night isn't as so
when I have dreams
of building a castle
yet in the darkness it will rise
and in the darkness it shall perish
forever accompanied
by the song of
*traveling wishes

That piercing glimpse of reality
When you see a person
In utter
Three dimensions,
Nothing is so riveting
Wanting to steal a little part
To cherish forever

to marvel at nothing but a flat expanse
the rippling gaze of shining sun
the silent kiss of a silver moon
blinding the expanses
with light and its absence
so that as I step out onto the reflecting pool
I see my silhouette shrouded
by my past self
and the streaking comets
at yet what is still to come
staring out, I know quite not
where the earth greets the sky
the perception of the horizon
lost to the clutches of time
I know not where the compass points
yet as long as my heart wills to go
I will follow, into the great
Unknown

This moment right now
Everything seems right
Yet I am a little sad inside
Knowing tomorrow's sprite
Will tower with great fright
As always nothing gold can stay
And the fearful monsters
Will come to claw away
My sight
