Last night
I’ve been to the edge
I’ve played with fire before
but not like last night.
After midnight you become sin free
so cast the first stone on me.
My mistake...
was choosing the wrong colors
That painted your mood.
============
a shot of heavy coffee with a cigar
in the morning,
Thoughts going in circles
Like the strayed smoke, you puff.
you looked at me,
first of the day,
Ashes from a boisterous last night
Saturated the bottom line,
it had to go,
the "B" cuts polluted the candle box
the reels of perfect playbacks,
I'll get another chance tonight.
==================
Here’s a box of kosher chocolate
see things from a different angle
Falling exhausted in your bed is lost time
Let’s keep things discreet
A new bucket list wish
To hold a candle at your dinner
to think over what's coming for me tonight.
