then sets us free
to wander, dancing aimlessly.

The fear of sleeping, like a coward

The dark past is drilled into the back of his mind

Dressed in white clouds, 
And the night in satin, 
She runs warm fingers through my hair,

With some folks of mine that love red wine

Handsome fella
The air I continuously breath
You bring me to peace 
Come dine with me 

The night is young
And I've fallen so deeply

Night Run

Every night or so I go out for a run along the roads
I don't know why it appeals to me
There's the wind
Constantly caressing my scalp
And the silence of course
No distractions
Okay, so I DO know...

The crowd thins, last call is shouted,
the gear is stored as the last patron leaves
Glasses washed and bottles tossed,
I hop down off of the stage watching her

The Shiner clock now reads 2:15 am,

And enticing
Still, a lump weighs heavily on my heart
As I sit by the window
And reflect on the cause of life!

Pray, it would seem that, somehow
People get so engrossed in life
That they forget...

Carry over

Therein lies the answer,
Therein lies the truth,
Therein lies confession,
When wounded hearts we sooth

For reality is stark and painful,

And the moment we admit it,
Is the time we break the rules,

And ignorance is...
