(NIGHT NURSE)
THE SOUND... PLEASE LISTEN, THIS PIECE AND THE MUSIC GO TOGETHER...
https://youtu.be/EClAQU3--Ow

One day surfing a cyberwave I saw you.
A vision wrought from the carbon and water that formed my mind.
Blood flowing as the feeling filled my body and rumbled in my veins.
So intelligent that I genius paused in awe.
Looked up at the blue sky and focused on a fluffy cloud.
It floating outlined against the vast backdrop.
I who would be it's passenger.
Thick thighs and powerful brown eyes.
Hair soft nappy and black.
I genius paying homage to you wisdom, queen of antiquity in these here modern times.
Mind bout to go cataclysmic.
I synaptic tickling black and white keys.
Word, power, sound as the earth trembled and the sky quivered.
Far for you to think I would ever be so mundane
Merely insert your name.
You my night nurse so soothing and sweet.
I think of thee.
Electronically as well as physical as prophecy becomes reality.
As leaves bud on spring trees.
I think of thee.

(I HAVING KNOWN YOU)
THE SOUND...

I hope you didn't think I forgot you across all this time.
I once fresh and young now battle scarred and bruised yet still alive.
You a beautiful thought crossing my mind when I alone waged war.
A moment of peace when all fell to pieces.
A flash of skin and a remembered scent that soothed the pain.
Color so vivid yet fading as my tears washed down my cheeks.
I holding you in the deepness of night in a jail cell.
A wet dream that saturated the sheets.
Your voice whispering into my ear.
I waking to find you unreal.
I holding onto you upon waking, begging you to stay.
Shield me from this reality.
How could I forget thee?
You have saved me from insanity and depravity...
From the pits of utter despair where so many go to rot.
They having given up on life.
I Dragon rising from my own ashes.
You the fuel that fanned my blazing fire.
Dancing in the flickering light that showed me the path.
How could I forget you?
Why would I want to?
You have given me life.
