Wishes
Night time skies
Night times I really tried
For a lifetime
Love sincerely tired
When anytime is no more
As long as silence creeps beneath my door
All things perish
And all that remains is gone
Against time you decipher life
Still you remain all alone
Seems we co-exit as one in this book of a thousand wishes
Mainly I was angry
For I come home
And there were no clean dishes
Therefore I granted you
My love, my scars, my blisters
I pleasured myself
As I bruised you for not saying mister
As in bedtime
I would lay you a rest in a whisper
I held your lust at hand
For I am you husband
A fallen aspect of your most conceited wishes
Hugs and kisses
Eighteen years
Marching children enlisted
The turn in the tide
We stood and we nearly missed it
A lasting call
Summoned us all to our doom
Should I stand, should I fall?
Should I pray as a ghost?
And over my nightmares hope that smiles loom?
A visualization of things to come
Perhaps my readers
Will now know where I’m coming from
And may we no longer need a book of timeless wishes
