Checking himself twice in the reflecting glass, he hindered not his exclamation, Tonight's the night I find my baby!

On the Frontier
Skipping stones across the sea is parallel to waiting for the bus, it gets tiresome.

Because hidden motives rule us all, we rely on our lies to take the fall – but I’m really just a hypocrite.

Not Even Dead: A Soliloquy of a Wistful Madman
The pallidness of day;
Oh, how the transparency consumes the imagination.
And the Romantic who once painted
His window with colours yet unknown, roads untouched
Is now oblivious to his own dream
The symptoms of a dreary disposition enfold;
What inspires the singularity of a faint and remote expression,
What grasps a moments consideration
Is only debris in the wake of divulgence -
A flash destruction
Of those ancient pillars which uphold the self
And bars that keep others out,
Reconstructed with every doubt;
Come the admission of that now sublte oddity
Whose presence was once honoured
As the law of the land, molded by hand.
You used to laugh at the Sinister;
Now you prostrate yourself before its every whisper.
Fully unaware of the voice inside your head
Which drowns all others.
What is left unsaid, is more than can be said;
Waking in Silence's bed, not even dead.
I watch from afar and know you are.
An empty-handed exchanged for the part;
Into the moon coated impenetrable night,
And In flesh, seen not again
What transpires, who can say.
Oh, how the transparency consumes the imagination.
And the Romantic who once painted
His window with colours yet unknown, roads untouched
Is now oblivious to his own dream
The symptoms of a dreary disposition enfold;
What inspires the singularity of a faint and remote expression,
What grasps a moments consideration
Is only debris in the wake of divulgence -
A flash destruction
Of those ancient pillars which uphold the self
And bars that keep others out,
Reconstructed with every doubt;
Come the admission of that now sublte oddity
Whose presence was once honoured
As the law of the land, molded by hand.
You used to laugh at the Sinister;
Now you prostrate yourself before its every whisper.
Fully unaware of the voice inside your head
Which drowns all others.
What is left unsaid, is more than can be said;
Waking in Silence's bed, not even dead.

An empty-handed exchanged for the part;
Into the moon coated impenetrable night,
And In flesh, seen not again
What transpires, who can say.

A Preliminary Success...
...in man's inexhaustible pursuit of compensating for lack of wings.
We are bound by nothing other than the limitations of our own imagination.

Man and Woman Contemplating the Moon
(Caspar David Friedrich, oil on canvas c. 1824, Man and Woman Contemplating the Moon)
She was unaware of beauty
And her ignorance was her greatest quality
She did an impression of her greatest inspiration
And it was out of mind
Like living in a room full of mirrors
And dancing for no one
A thing is not high if it can be reached
I was a man dangling from a rising balloon
Content as an observer
The Moon is fashionable
Because it is untouchable
And still makes an impression
