I have scratched the loneliness <br />that never knows its path <br />Bright as black <br />I flowed into its waters <br />and let the waves sift me <br />through the tunnels of despair <br />I have danced with abandon <br />in the poverty of desire <br />I have entered and left <br />the serenity of glass chills <br />echoing in my heart <br />I rode the battlements <br />of eternity in a second's <br />glance at lost <br />Falling, yearning, <br />grasping for something <br />that was glowing <br />but out of my sight. <br />I have dropped the <br />zeal of a rebel <br />into the ice cream of <br />a mind, and I drift, <br />and I drift, <br />and I drift.........<br /><br />Chris G.
