A Remote Hut of Daub and Wattle

Thoughts like entries in a old maritime log; They're kenneled on a shelf like a dog; From a ship; dry docked in a bottle, Within a remote hut; of daub and wattle, In my mistakes, perhaps there were no lessons found worth learning; My mind keeps them in a structure; that could so easily be set to burning I have no desire; to become someone I don't understand So many that were close to me; have let that foul demon, get the upper hand; So good is the chance, my memories will be gone historically; without a trace; Their discovery won't be fulfilled; until there's a ghost, standing in my place

Such introspective light... I hope you will not be a ghost, that love will burn for you, my friend...
