In quite nights, spent in solitude, when your own personal demons come knocking. When the peace of rest is denied you, and the minds eye sees images of static. What solace do you seek?

To start....the mindless menial tasks. Another night spent barking knuckles, and swearing at unco-operative and rusty components. Eventually, that fails too...and the mind turns grey.
 
Coherency of thought brings the single moment of clarity The relization is born, that it's 1 AM, and I'm freezing my ass off in the garage.

How did I get down here again? What was I working on?
 
Returning to my place of rest...perchance a bit of rest might be found. The eyes unfocused and glazed, as the mind replays random images. Disjointed and caustic...half forgotten with age. Times long past.

Too tired to react...too weary to flinch.
 
The progression of thought slowly refines it self. Defines itself. Forms a single thought. A memory of times recently passed. A smile...a touch. A friend.

I can see you there...in my minds eye. I know you are near...why don't my eyes find you?
 
Adrift in the fallen thoughts of the higher principles of life. The flotsam of cares and feelings gently tapping against the hul of the drifting mind. The tide of conscousness slowly ebbs. And at last drifts away.

Ahh to rest.
 
LOL...not even a nibble. Note to self...lock up camera before atttempting to sleep. =)
 
What can I say Savant but you still have me entranced within your eyes and now your mind. Help me but I bet I don't sleep tonight.
 
i like your way with words Sav. Even if you were nearly half asleep.

Hows the beast coming along? *your always doing sumthin on it*

Progress is an interesting thing...often you can't tell you are making any, until you are finished. The beast is coming along nicely I think. I'm working on her heart transplant right now...along with the rest of the major organs. Takes a well trained eye to see the potential of my ladies...but it's there.
 
well trained eye...

yeh, your right there is getting to be fewer of those well trained eyes... we live in a throw-away society, and people do it to cars these days as much as everything else. I love the ol-girlz myself... there something about a hotted oldie - a rawness when your drive them that is fun, and you dont get with a new car - or if you do its rarer...
 
Savant

this is by far my favorite series by you

I find myself captivated by image number 2

...the intensity of your gaze...
...revealing so much..or maybe it reveals nothing...
...lonliness...intensity....self reflection...
...that strand of raven hair that beckons a gentle finger to silently tuck it behind your ear...

Inspiring

:heart: A :heart:

Ahhh Sav...you know I can't quite reach all the way over there to nibble upon you! But never question my urge to! :D

Always the lighting...so moody. Gives me the urge to do whatever I could to comfort you. Beautiful insomnia....*sigh*

You know...I can beg if you want me to...but I'd love to see those Ladies of the Night you spend your time with...I can't help it, you know how I am by now!

*hugs*

Someday perhaps...Bashful, and cautious they tend to be. Mayhaps someday my shadowy visage will appear in company. Until then, I will endeavor to find something more compelling than a paper bag to appear in...regardless of Amber's request. :D

As for the rest...to live is to strive. For what is man without passion, or intensity? Without meaning or drive? Empty husks of animal flesh. The indomitable will, as it were.

Regardless of how empty my life may be, I will always live it with passion and conviction. Else why bother?

Ladies, thank you once more for your thoughts, and comments...you too, Dipsomaniac. :D
 
Like I could post that rant without bringing up the Muse that started that whole train of thought! :D Muahahaha, thought you'd escape my bumping, didn't you Sav?

Enjoy your Hope, enjoy your bliss with her, you know I am smiling and thinking good thoughts for you both!

*HUG*
