The midnight’s vessel overturns And sleep prevails Tried and true To capsized days I raise my glass Drawn to tears As I softly recall Into murky seas My thoughts defer Submerged and forgotten In the whirlpool of night Into the drone Of faultless rest I arise full For the luxuries beyond Withheld from the earth…

Beyond flowery shades All I trust abates In a clouded fray That lies in wait A careless stride Draws me afar In the coil of heartache Where my inner workings spar Caught within angst I’ll tussle with fear Withdrawn and tattered In these seamless years The unsheathe misery Shall sever ties of old In this…

Blood drenched cobble stones Cry out in desperation Echoing abroad A firm and stouthearted toll From the ruins of old That fume with young revolt Where proud dreams once sprawled Where lofty hopes despair Festering roads Whistle a high and steady tune From the fifes of vanguards That screeched with discontent Fresh hearts storm on…

Chopin wafts About my faultless day Coiling the ears In the midst of roving footsteps The bright afternoon swells To its full and pristine might Before this nocturne’s prose My sun kept love affair In truth I slither on Halfhearted and bereft In the warm girth of home Drained, by my squandered time
