Warm night stretches its silent breaths across these stagnant hours They ripple like an unworldly ocean that tempts a sailor’s most strained reach But my sails are torn through with a wanderer’s navigation Upon this endless sea of patient hopes and horrors And I close my eyes dream tight in sewn with such a fright That upon their parted shutters I will still see nothing Because your smile feints just over that intangible horizon so taunting Smile into the day as I pull myself through the dark So I took on the edge of the world, the edge of sanity Clutching at the crags to pull myself out of this dull droned deep hell Above the clouds into my florid reveries with fragile flight Although I lost all names and labels of retold in folded certainties I finally made it through the strong woven break But who’s to tell me when I am to ever wake? Definitely upon indefinite travel, this weary and constant sailor says Not even you.
