Neverworld
Amidst painted on smiles, I see
The practiced resolve to accept
What could’ve been
Repetition, day-in….
I pretend each has it in them
To convert all the pretty words
To tell the virtual, goodbye
And meet me at midnight

Becoming Midnight
Spent yesterday contemplating clocks
As humans have, from age to age
Many days, these hands sweep effortlessly
The pain hidden by some gift of grace
Yesterday, oh, the seconds though
Surely they doubled in gravity
Looped back and proceeded to wait….
This business of time is rather an art
So thus, must be valued as such
Will I wait one more night
One more day’s tick-tock ruse
When it seems only correct to go
Godspeed today
Where I know my heart must be tomorrow
The Slumberless Way
He almost asked me out I know
But the law got in the way
I gave him my sky, I preyed him, go
Tell what the stars have to say
Each night I’ve dreams I wish to share
But time’s gotten in the way
It’s midnight, and no one wants to care
A woman’s prophesied play
I’m watching out for his soft heart
But my ache, it wants its way
It’s likely I’ll only know such art
From afar, my eyes kept at bay
Music Past Midnight
It’s hard to wait for
Wanting that drumbeat
That backbeat
That heartbeat
It feels like highschool
Like oldschool
Like being schooled
In the reminder
The remainder
The refrain dear
It’s all we wait for
heart you
Midnight hadn’t struck
Oh praise!
What awakened me
First words on loving lips
The heart it seemed
Wished to wake up
And tell it out loud
The one thing it knows
Green
Tea of the perfect persuasion
The wayward garden
The midnight sky
How I’d swim there
Were my arms long enough
The usefulness of tears
