Boy and the Night.

"Stop!!!" I Yelled.
To the boy that wonders.
"Where are you going."
He just looks, stares, and ponders.

"Will you please take me with you...
I mean into the night?"
He stops, then nods
Not looking to fight.

"The places you go...
They look so dark and deep..."
He nods and braces,
For the next few are steep.

I will follow close
right at his heels
He silently walks
but a few glances he steals.

"Who are you
and from where do you come?"
"I'm from a land of few
The country of some."

To myself I keep:
This is not a place I would choose to sleep."

What is your name
Once again I sing..
"I am no one,
I am nothing."

I stopped with the questions.
He gave just one more nod.
Silently I walked.
And heavily he trod.

The night grew deeper
His stare was straight
I hanged my head,
Unsure of our fate.

then all of a sudden
Just like a flash
he missed a few steps
I watched then I dashed.

I caught his arm
Then his side
i tucked, then i rolled
the path just to narrow, our fall just to wide

I covered the pain
and said with a grin
"Sir you must be more careful,
watch first then...........

He stood abruptly
without a cause
straightened his coat
and scratched at his jaw.

So our walk continued
our journey from right there
there is nothing in this world
nothing he could not bear.

the bruises on his palm
the scars on his face
quickly i knew i
could have never taken his place

through all the dark
through all of the soot
this did i stole
and this did i took
for in his eye was a glimmer
deep in his soul a little less dimmer
than what did I first see.

as quickly as words escape the mouth
so was our night coming to an end
the void was fading
just alittle more around the bend

Lost in a Daze
My feet in a crazy
I lost myself

but before i hit the land
quicker than life
the force of a hand
grabbed my chest, and through his strife
pulled me back up
to the level of night
"Why?" I did ask before I could think
A quick grin did I see...no...just his shoulders did sink.

As I brushed myself off
did a sneeze then a cough.

I reached for my watch
but felt it was gone

just wait one second
as i turned to the spot
and raced over to search
"Ah right there on the top..."

OKAY as I turned
but something was wrong
something not right
for just as he came, he was gone

As the crack of dawn appears
at the beginning of the day
a brother I know I had made
and 'thanks' all I can say.
