My Gaze in Spectral

My Gaze in Spectral 

In the darkness it dwells
The visions and spells
Cast upon my gaze
That put my head in this daze

Look there is the spectral past
Shadows laid by the gleaming cast
Sight deceiving, my mind believing
Out in that bleakness, a thieving.

Beyond the layered mast
That I have laid in thus past
I bear down my soul
These images have taken their toll.

In A Haze

In a Haze
  
We embraced in a trance
Loving in a dance
Swirling in my brain
Lights color the insane
  
Something breaks
We feel it in the wakes
Broken fission silos
Melting all over the floor
  
Air gone sour
I reflect on it every hour
We are apart
What gave this the start
  
Hearts broken
We avoid
The terrible token
We fill it with a void
  
Pain tremors felt
As our lives melt
In the loss of sight
The internal fight
  
Until one night
At a dinner site
A party, simply a delight
  
I find myself overwhelmed
Feeling not quite right,
I duck under the table
Quite, well, just quite
  
And to my surprise,
There you are
Across from me
Also, quite
  
Locked in a gaze
Of unparalleled haze
We let out a giggle
And off on into the grays
We aways, we aways.
