"For Tonight"

 "For Tonight"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

I don't know why

but the chains were off tonight

And I could say what was in my head

like nothing would ever happen again

II

And yet I know that it wont last

this feeling of a high

because it all crashes

but it might let me soar for awhile

III

I sway my head to the music

let it carry me there

this place I founded

where I keep all that is decent/indecent

IV

The waves they engulf me

and I stand in the sand

sinking but not sinking

with this knowledge in my hand

V

And I heard those distant things

the memories that I have locked

Maybe tonight , maybe tonight

I can say goodbye to my chains.
