Leviathan Knight

Leviathan Knight
That's me, fighting every minute of every hour of dusk til dawn,
I am serious in living magnificently,
In the darkness, significantly
Finding life in each long, hard, stretched second,
Of time. Blind to tiredness.
Blind to lethargy.
Blind to everybody who says living like this
Is unnecessary.
You think I might die young?
You think you might live longer?
You think if you get 10 hours sleep,
every night, you'd be stronger,
Wiser, brighter?
I don't.
I live the Big Night, the Blue Whale Night,
The Leviathan Night,
Filled with an ocean of words,
Waves of unfinished verse,
Flow and ebb around me,
And all I want to do,
Is go fishing, with a small, ropey, old net,
Wait, patiently, try to catch a sprat,
Maybe a sardine,
Maybe a mean tuna someday,
How about that? Or possibly,
Something a lot bigger.
What then? A dolphin?
Nope, bigger still, a Leviathan.
Something that will allow me to finally
Get some sleep, live my dreams,
End my endless long nights,
Retire from this life,
The life of the

Leviathan Knight.

Unfinished Business

A bunch of unfinished stuff. Love & hope: Love is temporary. Hope is eternal. Little fair girl: Little fair girl, with your bucket so pink. Why do you want to pour your heart into the sink.

riddle me that...

You seek an answer you cannot find. When nearly all the roads are blind. Many paths and corridors. A torturous journey lies in store. You may think you've found your way.

Ride The Velvet Sky

Let's ride the velvet sky. Let it's richness take us whole. On the wings of wind. Let's glide in this nightly fold. Upon our backs, the horizon. Of the setting sun smiles now.

Patchwork Sea

I want to be,. In a patchwork sea,. Where every shade is different,. All labeled for me,. Cotton softly lapping,. Purple, blue and green,. In patches held together,. Sewn tight at the seams,.

Monochrome Stairs

So to this world I'll say goodnight, Up these stairs, I'll tumble from a height. Until at the bottom I'll land or fall. Restart the journey or hear the 'call'.

Funny things,. That make me laugh,. Like photos on Bing,. Of meme giraffes,. Cute li'l bits and pieces,. That seem to make me smile,. Like pronouncing geese as geeses,. And fluffy things in a pile,.
