When We Escape

so my muse
shall we take a cruise?
into the blinding sunlight
on an empty sea
with no horizon?
shall we take the pain and abuse?
self inflicted
(for if not what is the use)
and create a thing of beauty?

you and me
united
leaving behind what is useless to us
and embracing the unknown
wanderers, they will call us
lost, they will say
be we know
this is our way

springing free from a mundane existence
our dreams held sway
but are we sailing towards mundanity
towards and not away?
questions that we seek answers to will remain
doubts will seize us by the testicles
and they will not easily go away

but death is our promise
and for its cold embrace we await
but until then a bit of sun, wind, sand
and adventure
wouldn’t kill us as they say

so my muse
my friend of abuse
what say?

she was as the earth
and I, as the moon
to her darkened face
I shone my light
with no restraint
with selfless abandon
but she revelled not in my silvery gloom
and as I watched that cold lonely dawn
how she greeted the sun
with longing in her eyes
I realized
that i
could never become so bright.
for it was not my nature
I was one of a gloomier stature

shadows
loom bright
friendlier than light
for where is the warmth
in hot blinding light?
not for me the days of brightness
not for me the shiny bright
give me gloom and give me sight
for I wish to see
in the darkness

so what say you?
my shadowy clue
my signal in the dark
my direction In the night?
what say you?
to you and me
on a cruise?
exploring lost islands
wading in lagoons
sleeping in the open
with only the stars watching us
what say you?

In my mind
You’ll never hurt me
You’ll never say- it’s for my own good
The sun will down
the lagoon will clear
The fishes are friendly,
The tide is warm
In my mind,
I am worthy.
cruise along
Watch the moon kiss
The stars-
If these are words of no weight
As you once said,
Let them be weightless
As long as I may remain
weightless with you.
