Tonight

Paradise glows in my veins
The night sky unrolls before me
Filled with brittle stars
And panoramic wonders

Smell of sweat
Sex and cigarettes
On my clothes

In the distant
A car horn honks
A secrete
Code

Another spring night
To breathe in a thousand
Mystic mysteries

I lay on the grass and stare
At the sky
Dreaming of crimson kisses
Of my youth

In my heart
Within my soul
I’ve traveled
Into the light
Beyond the door

Tomorrow I will return
to trudge the spoiled ground
Of my fellow troglodytes

But I have tonight
