THE LONG NIGHT

Sitting Typing

And Dreaming Of Cold Graveyard Earth...

Of Christian And Brian And Her Recent Rebirth.

The Days Passed So Quickly

When She Spoke

In That Voice Of Some Creature

That Lived Long Ago.

Night I Dreamed Brian Alive 23 Years Old...

And Handsome And Loving Me

In His Bedroom Of Regret And Heartbreak...

His Whispering Hands Expressing His Sorrow

At Leaving Me Here...

While Alone Now He Rests In That Ground

Which Claims All.

The Woman Smiles Still...

Brian So Sad...

And All This As Movieland Magic Is Cast.

All This As I Wait For The Boy Who Moves Me -

With Voice...

With Howl And Word.

This Night Passes Slowly...

Like The Music I Heard

Both Below And Above...

When I Dreamed

Of A Dead Boy

Who Held Me In Love.

The Long Night To Come -

Is Deadly To Some...

Is Lonley For Others...

Is Nothing To None.

The Long Night -

I Live It...

And Never Forgive It...

This Night I Will Wait...

For The Darkness To Come.
