Sparkles At Night

Directionally dillusional in a straight line scene
Not knowing where I'm going or where I've been
Heading out east on a westward breeze
Living on vitamins and two broken knees

Don't look off in the distance when I come out your way
There's a desperate desire that won't just go away
Enthralled in your beauty and soul's guiding light
This gleam in my eye only sparkles at night

Engulfed in the moonbeams I'm starting to see
What exactly is lying out in front of me
Journey's taken full of life's fury flight
Twists in plans are turning out right

I think maybe it should be alright, instead of right, in the last sentence of the piece. I just feel it would flow better and essentially means the same thing. Other than that, I really dug this. "Delusional" is my little piece of spelling naziism. Ho hum. Good stuff.

That's what we do, don't we? Journey on with our broken things, a vision of beauty keeps us going against all odds. I love your poem Tim.

The gleam in my eyes only sparkles at night-Extremely Romantic Timothu. You have two broken knees and I have two twisted ankles... We wouldnt make a one whole good skeleton between us. I do pray for you to get better and you will Coach.
