Go see the peachiest scenery you'll never regret!

Underneath the midnight mask, I remove the makeup at last,
The moon is an anvil to my mood, mooring along the vacant vast 
I lay the Gin and Tonic by the bedside...

The hovercraft just popped
I surely cannot take the car

We arrived like windblown dirt,
the steamer vomited us out
then wallowed into a smug stillness.

We migrants stood 
to be led somewhere, anywhere
slowly we disembarked, disorganized 
and straggling,
lingering on the dock for leadership,

of the punctate canopy of night
Perseus astride the winged Pegasus
Hurtling to save his fair maid Andromeda 
from the beastly Cetus the seasick sea-serpent
While her folks, Cepheus and Cassiopeia

She sees him through her window
He's standing right outside
The darkness always finds her

She's been through this before
He always steals the sunshine
But she can't take it anymore

A hand of sand in spectrum of flow of time,
ministering thoughts by simple pantomime.

seasick on a camel ride pinned.

Some people give you butterflies
When staring deep into your eyes,
Or cause peculiar palpitations
Just from your kindly conversations,

But when you're on my mind it seems
You take these feelings to extremes,
One look at me and suddenly
