Day Break Ride

...so often 
in the solitude 
of when all 
is said and done 
after the passions
have been met 
when the dead 
of night 
begins its decline 
and the morning light 
starts to rise
there is an emptiness
that comes 
over me
taking me 
by surprise
in the before 
day-break ride 
heading home 
when angst
begins to question
...is this intimacy 
or just the way 
we find 
a few hours 
of separation 
from our day
to day grind
to keep the demons 
at bay 
- and maybe 
I've come 
to a split 
in the road 
or to a path 
I have never
chosen...
reflective logic
vacancy opens
a sense of 
pure weakness
nothing stronger
leaving me
feeling empty
and wishing 
maybe I should
have stayed
a little longer...
