#standby
I'm a standby lover, with all the duties of a partner; but without a proper invitation. I'm your safety net, a dollar in your pocket, the also-ran. You can bench me; bend me, ghost me for awhile, lead with breadcrumbs, make me smile, save me for a rainy day, tuck me up and play away, And when you've found the one you're after, Will your heart be filled with love and laughter? I truly hope so...

Standby lover, Thing on a string
My mind is on standby

Knowledge
Nocturnal eyes Poisoned by the light No Nicotine, Caffeine, Alcohol Sound mental health, Unclassified reasons Vivid dreams without a sleep Searching sun at night In standby mode Listening to breathe Minute counts >60 seconds Autobiographic life No one to say something, anything, In night, tomorrow comes today Time hard to slip by, Join Stars society, Still no gain Science has nothing to offer, and No God is gonna help Carving for Sleep A good rest is truly a bliss Experience of heaven on earth.

Insomnia
A new babe on the way, Does she arrive today? The stork is on standby, Is she coming down the slide? A star in heaven's berth, Winging her way to Earth, Now an atomic cluster, Has she got a dust buster? Her future unplanned, Soon in Earthling's band, When is she coming down the slide? Right now, the stork is on standby!

STORK ON STANDBY (For my expected great-niece.)
The body's still breathing, but I'm not quite alive, A soul in standby, simply trying to survive.

Soul in Standby
As if bound and chained to a rock in the middle of a vast, hot desert, I wait; Praying for a salvation which might come eventually... ...Maybe.
