NB

Infinite Loop

In the silence of a freeway,

the same old sky seems so new

Stillness within comes so slowly,

to reshape my thoughts of you

There\'s no better place I\'ll go to,

no cities for me to paint

Just another pattern road trip

replicating my restraint

 

All the people that I\'m seeing have a life

Or so it seems?

Walking down familiar streets,

kissing shadows, chasing dreams

Do they see the same horizons

with their glassy, vacant eyes?

Could they ever tell the difference

between sunset & sunrise?

 

All the words we left unsaid,

will memories let them resound

to remind of the reflections

that our faces never found..?

& when passengers walk by,

will they even see us there

Just two strangers, or ghosts of love

On our long road to nowhere...?

 

Somewhere on that concrete Eden

I gave my dreams the release

As they drowned in stillness of

my heart-shattering masterpiece

Deconstructed anamnesis, a lost soul

in its own grip

Nothing matters, only moving,

On this lonesome, strange road trip
