Agent Aslan

I don’t want to get up and out of bed, no good reason comes to my liquid head. Yes there’s some food and water too, and of course the required trip to the loo.

It feels like a light heavy weight, right inside my aching empty chest. I guess I’ll just have to again wait, to be down and out with the rest.

That’s really not much of an issue, because it’s something i’m used to. Just be glad it only happens me, it’s much easier to look but not see.

I fell in love today all over again, with the girl next to me at Cafe Trieste’. Thick red eye lashes and a matching mane flowin’, my pulse has yet to slow and rest.

The only words we exchanged were regretting, her telling of the code for the wireless connection. I’m convinced of in now that while we were sitting, our feelings had their own multidimensional convection.

I know I’ll never see her again, it’s really for everyone’s best. If she were the last love of my life, what would happen with all the rest?

They come and go on a daily basis, always with a yearning body and head. Hold the coffee and glancing races, give me a bottle of red wine instead.

A captain with no ship, is what I’ve become. The past is the past, it can’t be undone.

I ask very much, from my new crew. But expect nothing, that I wouldn’t do too.

The seas will be rough, you need ability. But just beyond, is the Sea of Tranquility.

I’m alone so often, I can hardly tell. Who I should trust, to take me through hell.

It’s a dirty job, but you love to do it anyway. If it’s worth doing it all, you may as well do it the hard way.

Dancing for you, is all that I need. Too weak to stop, too strong to heed.

A room with no view, is now what I’m used to. If you don’t believe me, look and I’ll show you.

Ten feet squared, no john and no shower. Someone knocked me, from my golden tower.

I’m back on my feet now, and fighting resistance. Good thing that I’m full, of endless persistence.

I enjoyed peeling your name, off of my white wall. I gave you all I had, you brought little if at all.

Your red letters lay in scraps, on my otherwise clean gray floor. Next I get to scoop you up, and throw you out the back door.

I know you didn’t mean it, I really just don’t care. I looks as if you just found out, you get what you give and that’s fair.

What good are my eyes, if I can’t see your face. When you enter a room, my pulse picks up pace.

That’s me crawling, under your skin. One word at a time, searching for sin.

Together we’ll make it, all the way to the top. I just can’t help myself, please don’t ask me to stop.

My little star sleeps next to me, tiny nightmares light my way. Why she’s here it’s hard to say, please leave tomorrow, not today.

She sees me, not as I am, but shades of dark-pale gray. Now I’m awake and she’s disappeared, I know I’ll miss her for the whole day.

As soon as I’m home it’s back to bed, she’ll be waiting within my walls of red. And then I drift off to my sweet, it’s only in my dreams we ever meet.
