Neon

began 12.12.89 revised 11.04.01

Black, liquid motivation, ‘neath the neon
Dance; impressive behavior
Through no fault of your own, reality eludes you,
And you realize that heaven is your home.

Pale craft excitement, all lessons in neon
Laughter more ugly than lies
Heads turn too late, clench-fisted & enraged
You realize its heaven that you hate.

Hard-faced attraction carved out of neon
Lips, as welcome as wine
Forever locked inside, this passion; this hunger
And suddenly, there's no where left to hide.

Fainting illusion across the neon
Touch me with fingers of fire
A telepathic plea, lost & forgotten
Along with all desire to set you free

Ripe isolation bewilders neon
Unknown through this echo-sphere
Unsuspecting stares, illuminate sheer terror
For reason too symbolic to merely share

Sworn declaration, cast into neon
Shatters & scattered remains
No way now to know if love is an intrusion
If I should hold on or let you go

I have been waiting a lifetime for these. It's about time. Don't stop!
