oh god the sky is so beautiful tonight
the way the pinkish light of the city
glowing organic shines off the hanging
low clouds grey hills valleys shadows
and that lone blinking red light in the distance
as i sit staring at my own old age
the darkness of post rain silence
emanating from everything
i want to reminisce
i want to reminisce with someone who
doesn't know my past who is waiting
to know my past
sitting in silence for hours whispering
talking yelling screaming of days gone by
better days worse days
just days
to sit in the darkness of post rain
watching your eyes dimly reflecting
my own
soft glistening orbs
and a notquite perpetual smile
perpetual almostsmirk
to stare endlessly because you're
one of the few people i'm willing
to look at
you still surprise me every time
we play chess or
this is a night you should be here
to remind me of my own existence
as i watch the distant street
lights sending their wisdom skyward to
a heaven that refuses your admittance
