Epiphany
  1:00 AM ruminations are not always the sanest
  Although I have heard writing is best written drunk
  Everything suddenly, a great idea, as you’re vainest
  Tipsy yet so fearless like that fear of fear has sunk
  
  The error we err sometimes, ‘tis this too literal
  Of an approach; oft what is meant, you see, is not said
  Oft what is said, you see, is not true of what is meant 
  Stark truth unfold: too many times words have misled
  Yes, ‘tis constructive to hear of faults and flaws
  But feels much nicer to hear of reasons to adore
  I love you is great, sure and yet I love you because
  You always see the best in me is just ecstasy galore
  
  Ask for or to await love, an arrogant presumption
  Even the greatest of them all, I dare say
  Such certainty of self surely takes much gumption
  And yet sweet and precious, be as it may
  When of words you have one, you want more
  And this one me, incessantly, beguiled and bemused
  Said Best can only ever refer, to one or none at all
  Such confoundedness in me, the silly sentence infused
  And then jaw-dropping epiphany struck
  Much like the shaking Earth a while ago
  That, impressions on the mind are easily gone
  And dead and forgotten and dismissed so
  A soul that touches leaves a streak forever to
  Remain. A scar, a cherished tattoo, a mark
  And these all fluxed make you who you are
  Lights blaring and lighting you up in the dark
  Unlike some, who pen to be read, I write to infer:
  The deepest, darkest secrets of this silent soul
  ‘Tis for myself to discover opinions that differ
  And pesky perceptions that make me whole
  
  Random is by definition: Lacking any certain order
  My thoughts, flitting freaks of nature: randomness at best.
  All the same, each link of the chain sound and strong
  However the sensibility, cannot be put to the test
