Day Night

choke back fright dark and dusty,
flight plan a little rusty,
hope for a ride have fun, 
then run, and hide, 
twinkle twinkle distant dear

insecure considering all that's been said,
up for interpretation from a rocket bed,
sparkly conjecture, with pale complexion,
simply put a man without a plan of attack,
swells come regular, damn you fear

love is not a modern day invention,
like breathing,
or a one sided upside down mathematical equation,
a lot like truth yet yields ill conclusion

...like sleeping without,
and reaching for air,
because she's not there
