One Night

It's just one night
One day
Out of many
A brief siesta from the sunlight
When darkness reigns
One night

Come let us rekindle this old flame
While I conceal 
For that little while
With well traveled guile
My real mu-name
True ambitions and past transgressions
Just one night
Here…
I'll step one foot out of the gloom
As you step partially out of the light
And we'll rendezvous
Surrounded by a romantic fog of
Premeditated confusion
A delightfully charming illusion
While I explore my aspirations
And you surrender your inhibitions
Within a few hours
Outside the glare of a truthful sunlight
It's just...
One night

It's just one night
One day
Out of many
A brief siesta from the sunlight
When darkness holds sway
One night

Come quench your thirst
Slake your hate
While you attempt to stifle fate
Interrupt its flow
There it is your wilted rose
Decorated in suave tones and faded, jaded, lovers prose
You can't conquer it so…
The ink isn't even dry on that fancy invite
The bold seemingly alien fonts
The ramifications of shortsighted spite
Under the auspicious shadow of wrong and right
It is just another day...
In other words 
One night

Hear the hounds baying
The snakes crawling and hissing
Scaly bats angrily screeching 
The dead and dying
They've run out road here and there
The ghost of shadows 
Touches them everywhere
Young, old and older
Every shade of envious schemer
Screaming and hollering amongst
The delightfully abject suffering
As a gratified heart of ancient stone
Wraps and rolls the unwilling home
Oodles of passion on an acerbic plate
Brimming with irony
Regret if it survives, is too damn late
As the spider adds another piece of cosmic string
To an elaborate work of malevolent art
Three points
The purest colors in every part
The ride rolls to a sudden reddish stop
On the magnificent shores of a distant well
And you're eye to eye
With the battle crazed pride of hell
Waist deep in undiluted Tar
A moment of truth
Realizing just how "set" you really are
At the start of the end
Once, twice, thrice
You've lost again

It's just one night
One day out of many
When the blackest black begins to
Supersede the light

Standing up to it all, every try and beyond
We're the only ones 
Capable of breaking that bond

Look there, a smiling feminine face
Frozen in clay
Every dog gets his day

One Night

Never forget the journey 
Or lose sight of the destination

I am the malefic Versifier 
NecroWmancer
