Bent Words

August 24, 2004

Turning my head as I reach the door atop the stair

Hoping beyond a chance that I might find him there

In darker hours, in want of time

Turning my head to escape the signs

Hindering thoughts remove my mind from my tasks

Wondering how they could be precious, the moments for which I ask

I'll beg to be consumed

Leaving all of sadness no more room

I'll send each promise sailing with tomorrow's wind

The intoxicating late night calls I shall rescind

Upon the stars I can request to incur no further blame

The enormity of the universe can only request of me the same

Turning my head as I set out into the world, ready to stake my share

Hoping with all my heart that he'll look for me out there...
