Truth of the Night
By Sean Mc Shane
It was a long way to go, so We walked on
out to the farthest edge,
the kind in a sad song
only to be sung at the end, of a once glorious
start
with no vengeance in the trials, there's no denials tearing
it all apart
. . . so We left and wished on the same star
with loose white lies
dragging certain reasons back thru a hole
with simple words building hard goodbyes
moving
into a shaded area
with
a maiden of the desired dream
the essense of a serene goddess
who always ruled the golden scene
You came up with it quick
I barely slapped it together
running our numbers in reverse
calculating the odds of stormy weather
we found a new way to relocate
but grandiose ideas soon whither
white lies turn black
and back to Our hearts they slither
But on a much happier note, Baby !!
You can still muster a stellar smile
even manage to laugh at most of it
though only for a short while
Me, I just explain the mechanical mystery
bastardom ? or some other weird incident
I just tell them my mother was Irish
and my father was a Farm Accident . . .
That brought Us to
our wild garden, where We found Our future graves
a strange and
beautiful place, with half of a sign that read . . . SAVES
We made Our own holidays under the gun, always keeping a crack
in the curtain
paranoia tries to discover a neon philosophy, one
that was proven to be certain
I realized then who I am, I
tried to hide in my dream empire
remembering on my late arrival,
I had left You at the Spring fire
creative circumstances brought
You back, helped You thru the high marble maze
Our feather dusted
dilemas followed, pushing Us into this drunken haze
couldn't
have moved time any slower, always an unseen barrier
wonder what
awaits us now ? ( and will I ever marry Her ? )
more clues
to all of this, divine mystery still holds Us tight
guide Us thru
the dread of the day . . . Love Us in the Truth of the Night
. . . but don't
look for Us there, Baby
You remember the Hollow Hiltop ?
I found Our secret there
It's gonna make Your jaw drop . . .

The places you take me, I want a printed book of your work so I can take you with me up into the Olympic mountains, and read you while I'm curled up next to a blazing fire wrapped up in my comfy fleece robe and snuggling with my down blanket, drinking bottle after bottle of rum... I love the places your writing sends me to... - XXOO

Bastardom - genius! Really enjoyed this sad tale of two people perhaps who shared much but were doomed from the start and now share a one-sided secret maybe? This was great and I can relate. Thanks man.

Thanks, Cherry. Glad you enjoyed the ride. One of my fav things to do with writing, is to leave the end up to the reader. They can take it from there. Thanks again. Looking forward to reading you as well. Til next time -
