No one sleeps! No one sleeps!
Even you, oh princess, in your cold room,
look at the stars that tremble with love
and hope!

But my mystery; it is locked in me.
And my name,no one will know!
No, no! On your mouth
I will say it, when the light will shine!

And my kiss will break the silence,
that makes you mine!

His name no one will know...
And we shall have, alas, to die, to die...!

Disperse, o night!
Vanish, oh stars!
Vanish, oh stars!

At daybreak, I will win!
I will win!
I will win!

2018, where even the lows are pretty damn high. Asked her to marry me. She said yes. She wants simple. I love her. We do have issues but they’re not warning signs: they’re me throwing off the vestiges of old p. The p of fear is no me.

This makes me want to document some of my 2018 a little better. When it’s going great, I have a tendency to not write. I will work on that.

Tears in the clouds are usually rain

But not these tears in these clouds on this day

For second by second, mile by mile

He’s taken further and further away from her smile

His poem a puddle, his screen turned a mess

And nothing to stem it, no one to caress

Sweet nothings have bloomed, he now feels the thorns

The pain of love’s longing, of two hearts being torn

Apart from each other, each moment an age

Wrapped up in the truths of each promise they’d made

- flight 2 -

Yet the tone of this poem, of one left behind

Doesn’t quite match the author’s designs

See the time he had spent, considering love

Only served to remind of him of the one up above

So as far as he flew, as high as he’d get

The Lord looks o’er them both, flying higher yet

Their connection He’d forged long before time

And time cannot threaten what the lord has designed.

In an airplane aloft, in seats ever cramped

He ventures along, this brand new man

Horizons of blues and clouds of cream

Brings ever closer the girl of his dreams

They’ve fought through so much, for year after year

Each other they’ve won, a reward sincere

He peers out and on, skies dancing in place

But nothing compares to the lines of her face

They’d waited so long, their patience held true

Forever on “us” would mean me and you.
