Random Tidbits Scrawled Onto Napkins

One day before, she was complaining about how he just disappeared.  Now, she was doing the same thing, and she had no idea where she had really gone.  What she did know is she was off dancing from star to star, making love in the colors of the sunrise, imagining what it is the stars must dream and what it is to climax in at the supernova and start again from scratch. She wasn't ready to burn just yet.  Trying to keep the cool whites and pinks around her.  Blue is so very beautiful, but so very dangerous.  Blue heat so close to her, causing chemical reactions, wanting so badly to keep this star cool this time around.  Build up slowly. "Dance on this star alone for now..." There was a different mans name on her shirt.  Indeed, a dead mans shirt she wore, but it wasn't the first time or even the same man; this one she didn't even know. She began making letter equations in her head which quickly became number equations...


***   ***   ***   ***   ***   ***   

Does he dream? Has he ever?


***   ***   ***   ***   ***   *** 

Does he speak to you without speaking Do they love the same sweet girl Does he ever know what she's thinking Are they holding back the world....

'Cause she could drive forever...


***   ***   ***   ***   ***   *** 

She never could have seen it coming...

***   ***   ***   ***   ***   *** 

I watch you walk away Your shadow the horizon The distance to the sun too far

Keep breathing in the secrets That I have yet to say Whispers wanting on my breath...


***   ***   ***   ***   ***   *** 

Nova, fusion, chemical reactions, bonds, reflections, fire, intensity One stage ends to let another begin Destiny

***   ***   ***   ***   ***   *** 

***   ***   ***   ***   ***   *** 

I've been up twenty minutes shy of twenty-four hours.  There is something energizing, beautiful, and captivating about tonight.  Something close behind.  Just ahead?  Sleep.

"Close your eyes and sleep..."
