sunsets of bliss

toxic night that crawled into a sunset sublime,
a walk home by misty canal,
two week stubble, amphetamine eyes
that haven`t seen sleep for five short days.

I was crazy at midnight,
bleary eyed, tongue tied,
bound for the east in adoration of a new moon.

it was good to walk by the waters edge,
lost in temptation, passive resistance,
gentle surrender,a wing beat away from eternity.

in this time of reckless persuasion
softly fall the nights of abandon.

placid sunsets crawl slowly home,
sunsets of bliss hold their breath.
