For tonight
I wish upon the stars
in a sky that shimmers
blanketed with dismay
that’s created
and fed..
by me.
For tonight
I wish upon the worlds
that fall and falter
that struggle and die
that grieve and sin
so bright
so ugly.
For tonight
I loose myself
in a bottle
and weep to the walls
which know my name
and are far too
familiar.
For tonight..
I pray to the trees
for the strength
to grow
and to make amends
with the entity
that I call myself.
And for tonight..
I lay my head..
and wish for sleep
in a space that breeds
the monsters under
a bed of dreams..
and nightmares.
And for tonight..
I weep
and scream
and sleep
and..
And for tonight..
I live
I breathe…
I survive.

Some tour the world to have a look. Me, I pretty much stick to the book.
