In That Moonlit Night Standing In The Abaft,
Watching The Towed Flaccid Wooden Raft,
I Thought That I Saw An Angel Resting,
Lying Exhausted There In That Craft.

I Call The Girl Out Unbeknownst Of Her Kind Name,
"Hey Young Lady!!" To Which She Didn't Much Respond,
She Looked Up Towards Me Once In Anguish & Collapsed,
I See Desperation In Her Amber Eyes & Resolve To Help Her.

The Crewmen Had Now Been Doing The Paddles After Resting,
I Summon My Captain & Ask, "Do You See That Girl In The Raft?"
The Senile Captain Smiles To Say, "Commodore, Better Get Married,"
I Look Just Clueless To Which He Simply Replies, "There Is No Girl."

True He Was As She Had Simply Disappeared,
I Started Thinking Of My Sleep Needs That Day,
I Looked Around Again In A Hope To Find The Girl,
I Had Compromised My Routine As The Commodore.

Then I Immediately Realized It Was My Wild Phantasm,
Now This Was Just A Plain Illusion Of A Tired Sailor's Mind,
No Mermaids Could Have Ever Existed In Reality & Were Fake,
I Turned Towards The Deck To Go Back To My Bunk For Sleeping.

As I Climbed Down The Stairs To Enter My Room Amazed & Dazed,
I Saw Her Standing And Waiting For Me By The Side Of My Bunk,
I Accepted That Delusion Of My Mind & Started To Lie Down,
She Said, "I'm As Real As Your Thoughts, Don't Fear Me."

She & I-Me & Her, Had The Best Time That Night,
In The Morning She Was Gone & Was Just Gone,
Disappeared Into Thin Air While I Was Asleep,
Each Day I So Dearly Long For Her To Return.

I only have as much energy

As these flames will allow me

And soon all that shall remain

Will be dull ashes in my place

Lite a fire
Beneath the wings
Of the clarity
That will propel
Our yesterday
Into history

Tempted
by your skin
Your boyish-ness
Your adorability.
Your difference
By the fact that you're the opposite of my type
And the opposite of what i'm used to
You're different
You're the bad boy
You do things that i'd never dream of doing
You've done worse
And you know both the high and the low
Yet you never encourage it
You deter others from it
While you still own it
You're not ashamed
You're open, yet mysterious
You're a book full of secrets
That's only exposing the tip of the iceberg
I don't really know what it is
But you're pulling me in
All you were at first was a *******
The only interest i had in you was physical
But now..
Now..
Now i want all of you
Everyday.
The fact that you're a grenade
A ticking time bomb
Makes me feel afraid, anxious
All the while making me feel safe
And comforted
Because you're just like me
Yet you're different completely
It's amazing
You're enticing.
