~Ok,...this is more of a ramble than a poem. *Peace. Reflection in the Oven Door. I like my reflection here,... in the oven door. It's so full of burning heat and when I curl my toes,... it does the same. Bawled up here, on the kitchen floor, like a dog searching for the coolest spot in the house. Writing here where the tile is cool to my skin and the checkered pattern plays with my mind. I've got all I need, got a bowl of water that the kitty said he'd share. Got my heated mirror and my pen, I like it here, I only wish that you could see me in this position, in this light. Fetal and laughing, hearing her voice again, She whispers to me when I am alone. She thinks the floor is a strange place to lay. She thinks I should be writing about her. She thinks that I should only listen to her, but when the others come out to play, it gets tough distinguishing between them. I usually push her into the oven. Try and burn her out of my head, but she's a fighter,...as am I. She's a tough one to get clear of. Seems there is a mission behind her, a motive of sorts. She's got plans for me...but I'm always trying to set her on fire. I like my reflection here though, in the oven door....it's different, It's sort of like I'm inside a television set, watching my own debut. She's like the commercials though.... always annoying and when she comes, it's always time to get up for a snack. So try it will you? Lay on your kitchen floor, see yourself in this position, tell me you like it,... and that I am not insane. |

You must be a better house cleaner than I!! LOL For I noticed last night my oven door was looking grimy and mentally listed that as ANOTHER thing to do today!! When it's clean I'll look and see what happens.. good work, do you have those voices like Jan in the brady bunch movies HA HA LOL  I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn..... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

Soooooo cute!!! My mom used to lay in front of the oven....of course her head was usually in it. I was not the best kid on the block, you see. Loved the imagery. Still smiling. Hardrock |

Here you go SpitFire your board is as good as new. I was looking everywhere for you. Are you playing hide and seek. he! he! Your not insane we are. Oops! Did I say we I meant I. Well this is the dark section I guess me and myself like it here. I could go and say something strange here and fit in. But that’s not like me. See ya at the top of the snake pipe! And excellent poem! |

Great discription kid, Does she whisper in the night, for someone to come and hold her tight? does she tell you her name, or is hers and yours just the same? Is she a young person of gold, or a crone with breath of the old? Does she wish you ill content, or is she specterly sent? ???????????????????????????????????????????? You know it's not in answering the right answers, it's in asking the right questions. Love it kid. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

Ramble on! God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |
