Love's Sobriety

LOVE'S SOBRIETY Nightfall's preponderance and day's ignominy Jealous of the neon-eyed night That I don't spend with you Wondering who you lie next to Your voice screeched into days When we could not see, Jealous of the love... Love that wasn't here, Gone for someone else to share You erect high ice wall around my heart Towering far above my sight and simplicity My Achilles heel drowning at your skyscrapers, Bearing down on me like a berserk Buffalo, Parted were your clouds that clothed my sky Upon consciousness thoughts Invasive was the mind Myriad vacuums of a forlorn heart On the lonesome surge into your infinite pool With every gusto sing I the psalters We stir to the rhythm of nature Give me one million nights To drink the ale of your love And you'll be my only perpetual guest, Ox or Ass, none will I plow with But will pilfer the moon just to make you gay, Wouldn't lay down my sword to slay If you are worth all the fight, A thousand miles race just to stay one night Because one lost night may last for eternity To earnestly light up love's sobriety.
