Toast to the Night

There is love,
then there's tonight.
A toast to all those empty glasses
who stare at the time as it passes
then cling together in sad melody,
a thoughtful chime in quiet harmony.
There is peace,
then there's the night.
Living now is loving now
we'll make up for it,
I swear somehow
we'll learn to honor sacred vows
I said I love you while moaning God,
holding you against my bod,
I meant it now, and I mean it then,
what if we're plutonic, always friends?
There is the past,
then there's the night.
A reverie in my mind's hindsight,
a picture show for my delight,
Chaplinesque in black and white
the glasses again do clink,
again is there the longing to drink
more than the spirits, more than the wine,
more than the incessent drought of time.
Then I rewind.
There is the night,
then there is tonight.
Forget your doubts and forget you mind.
Leave it here, far behind
where it can reach forward to pull you back,
heat and steam and inhibitions collapse
my left hand goes to release the clasps
a brain in shock with a heart that gasps
as gates spring free and the body grasps
onto the here and now it just feels right.
Here's to the moment,
and here's to the night.
