will the air always shimmer so?
and will the night always be
starstrewn and tattered?
and when lady death
finally lays her sacred kiss
upon my lips
shall i carouse those rocky shores
forevermore?
and will i find you there
old friend?
amongst the silent stars
at the waters edge
as the pelicans glide overhead?
and will it be forever night?
or shall november sunshine
find us there?
and shall we drift forevermore
upon these starkindled seas?
in the belly of this great ghostly galleon
to find ourselves swaying
amongst the lanterns and drunken saints
oncemore......
