Tonight, I gaze through eyes glazed with a dark red haze. It is this poetry of pain that I play with. Part genius, part ******, but I still work with all of it. It is tears, tragedies forgotten and remembered tinged with the insights of love and the losses to come.
Tonight, I am tired but I will not sleep because dreams keep waking me with what if and never was tears, even bringing in cameos appearances of family and friends who have long since departed this realm.
Tonight, my eyes ache for the sweet respite of a well earned rest, but it is those unconscious journeys that frighten me. So, I use work as an excuse while I abuse caffeine, just to avoid the truth.
