Skyler spent Saturday night working, as usual. Tommy had a meeting in the VIP room at the club Rush, and Skyler and Gasher soldiered along. While the Figure was inside the room doing god knows what, Skyler let the shy sorcerer guard the door while he mingled with the club-goers. Scantily clad, pretty youths infested the place, dancing to loud music, bathing in fog effects and multi-colored flashing lights. The boy participated in a few dances and had a few drinks. He heard many songs during his visit to Rush, but the one that stood out to him the most was a feisty, fast-tempo thrasher. He had no idea who sang the song, but Skyler found the lyrics to be profound. The chorus went, ?When I got the music, I got a place to go!? Suddenly an idea came to him. On the bar was a napkin with the club?s name on one side, its other side plain white. It would be perfect for writing a poem. Of course, Skyler?s trusty red crayon was stored away in his pocket. Now he just had to ponder what to write. Eventually he would return to the VIP room to wait for Tommy, his thoughts still conglomerating.
After Tommy?s meeting was over, they made their way to the back exit door. The crowd parted for Tommy like the Red Sea parted for Moses, but Skyler and Gasher had to weave through the partygoers as they followed along. The three of them stepped into the dark back alley where their vehicles were parked, Tommy?s Hummer and Skyler?s motorcycle.
?What are we doing now?? Gasher asked, looking up at Tommy.
Skyler also looked at Tommy. The look on the Figure?s face was one of ultimate tranquility and relaxation. He immediately knew what his boss had been up to in that VIP room.
?I?m going back to Cosmo,? Tommy informed them in his deep gravelly voice.
?We off the clock?? asked Skyler.
Tommy nodded. He pulled open the door of the Hummer and climbed into the driver?s seat, turning the key and gunning the engine.
Gasher looked at Skyler. ?I guess I?m going back, too, Sky. You coming??
Skyler shook his head. ?I?m going to see Jewell. I?ll talk to you tomorrow.?
They clapped one another on the arm, then Gasher turned and hopped into the passenger seat of the Hummer. The big black monstrous vehicle roared away, tires squealing as it turned out of the alley.
Skyler climbed onto his motorcycle and dug the napkin out of his pocket. He gazed at it thoughtfully for a while, then wrote a short poem upon it with his red crayon, using the handlebars to bear on. Sitting there atop his bike in the darkness of the alley, Skyler smiled as he scribbled. Light was scarce so his handwriting was understandably sloppy, but it was legible. Finally he stuffed the napkin and the crayon into his shirt pocket, started his motorcycle and hummed away into the night, toward Jewell?s Villa.
He zoomed through RhyDin?s city streets, long pretty shiny black hair sailing in the wind. The night was chilly and damp, but that was all right. Skyler enjoyed such environs. He shut off the bike at the perimeter of the property, so as not to awaken Jewell or her children with its metallic growl. Cloaked in darkness, he traversed the shadows of her lawn, scaled the wall of the villa, pried up her bedroom window and slipped inside without making a single sound. If the boy had wanted to pursue a career as a cat burglar, he?d find plenty of success.
The sleeping Jewell was always a sight to behold. Then and there she took his breath away for the thousandth time, the vision of innocence and beauty, curled under her blankets with her precious face poking out the top. Skyler tiptoed toward her, quiet as a mouse as he dipped into his pocket and withdrew the napkin. He spread it out on the pillow next to her so she would see it when she woke, then he stepped back toward the wall, blue eyes glued to her all the while. At last, just as quietly as he entered, Skyler blew her a kiss, ghosted out the window and vanished into the night.
Jewell, I heard an awesome song tonight and it made me think of you. I changed the lyrics a little because I find that really fun. Now it?s a poem from me to you. I hope you like it.
Love, Skyler
Never fell in love
Until I fell in love with you
I never knew what a good time was until I had a good time with you.
If I wanna get the feeling right, then I?m giving my Empress a call...
For when I?m with you, I feel no pain at all.
You knooooooooow.......
Warm summer night, I was drinking with my crew
They can?t give me the love I?ve always gotten from you.
They gave more love to their bottles of wine,
So I had to go out and find love of another kind.
Here it is
Here I am
Turn it up
Frikkin loud!
Jewell, Jewell, Jewell...
When I got my Empress
I got a place to go.
RDI joy
Magnificent fornications
I was a lost boy
You showed me those sensations.
One tool, surely not lost
No remorse, enjoying the cost
Here it is
Here I am
Turn it up
Frikkin loud!
Jewell, Jewell, Jewell...
When I got my Empress
I got a place to go.
Dontcha know?
