I went to his place

after drunkenly kissing him...

& telling him softly

just how much I'm missing him...

& he opened to me

as he opens to no one...

As he opened his eyes

& he found I was somone

that he could confide in

& cry with & shudder...

I was a friend quite unlike

any other...

I could be held & hold him

like a lover...

I could do more when we

were with each other...

So Insomniac cried & then

he stroked my face...

He thanked me for coming

with him to his place...

& then we kissed again &

not like two friends &

the kiss didn't end till he was

there spread before me...

But the wonder of it was -

& I wanted him because -

he was all that I craved

& a master enslaved to

the idea that escape could set us both free.

But he found in my arms -

He was free from the charms

that had set off alams

& had set him to screaming -

He found in my arms -

that no one that harms

him could ever undo him

in my arms redeeming...

Or that's what he said,

before I woke up in bed,

& I suffered the thought

that I'd only been dreaming.

- For Insomniac Erick -

I hope you find what you are looking for.
