Burnt Out

I speed through the night Under the slice of streetlights Dark light, dark light, Until I reach a patch A hole that's pitch black A row of lights are off The cavernous gap it creates Eats the light around it Digesting the ease of passers by Eerily ominous It stares without eyes It sees my headlights But doesn't absorb the light It's a reminder that the night Is only lit because we make it From the live wires that transmit And the light bulbs that we keep lit And without what we've placed in it The night is a dark pit That swallows up the silence and all who wade in it   Photo from revdavidneuen.blogspot.com  

The Lucky Ones

Freezing nights Loopy shots Remember the song You swear you forgot I can hear you smile Over the music I can feel Your eyes Come alive Walk with me into the dark It doesn't matter where you parked Forget who I am So that we can meet again Start all over To end up here again Keys rattle and shine Hung by my side And by the smile on your lips you already know that you're mine Three in the morning Laughing over In and Out burgers It's getting colder Tuck me into your shoulder The lights of the night Dance in your clear blue eyes And I see my reflection there Hands strung in deep brown hair Wherever you go I want to be there
