Tonight
There is nothing sexy about a street lamp.
God said "let there be light."
Man said, "let there be light at night. Fuck God"
Soft rain falls like whispers
A gentle haze
Flickers
Dimly lit shadows
Kiss her
Under well hidden skies
My noir night needs
Narration
Less flirtation
And a
Time machine
Get off your phone.
You're on a bus.
I'm going blind to time
And wander
Space
Beats by Dre.
Here in the Dark
Alone I roam the streets between
Suburban homes
With loans so steep they make
Owners weak
Like chic models that haven't had
A Bite in weeks.
And the red they find on their
Balance line
Just might be fine if
All the cops find is
The front of their brain
Pushed
To the back of their mind
And the dark is something
Serene and nice
Laced in shadows that tuck away
Evil
With a knife
But don't worry your wife is
Safe
Just an arms length away from
The shadows that cloud the
Night
Just another superhero
If I could read minds my parents would die.
If I could read minds my girlfriend would be forever in danger.
If I could read minds the weight of the world would be on my back.
If I could read minds I'd face a foe worth a match.
If I could read minds I'd surely win.
If I could read minds I'd let the dark in.
If I could read minds revenge would be next.
If I could read minds I'd never forgive.
But if you could read minds you'd know all that.
Answer
Ask me a question. Tell me your truth. Do the whispers that flicker in shadows take from my muse? If I am not you is your truth a lie? If we stay here together would you hold me all night?
Ask me a question. Tell me your truth. Do dreams let you fly and fall for fun? If your heart skips a beat do you hush it at once? Can love be wrong if it is I who you love?
