The back drop
screen
of eyelids shut
flashes
x-ray
images
in dark
as irridescent
sparkles
spiral
summoning
my insides
out--
an obscene splash
of silent
scratch
of life's events--
green and black--
with frames
missing--
inbetween
photographic
memory
--a baby girl
who waves bye-bye--
to woman wild
while making love...

I pound my fist.

I startled him.

He woke and we met
eye to eye.

"Is something wrong?"
He asked from deep.

"There are lumps in my pillow.
Go back to sleep."

Ahhhh Serenity! This one spun me around in circles! Great Write, my friend! ~Rayne

For in much wisdom is much grief
& he who increases knowledge
    increases sorrow...

I'm so tired, I found a deeper meaning in th' poem. Or at least I think I did.

These smiling eyes are just a mirror for the sun.

Rayne--how I love your name--thank you for reading...and I tend to spin in circles a lot, too!

Mike--ah yes, you always KNOW-- I am ever grateful for your understanding. It helps to know that "he" and I do NOT sleep together! I am a chain-smoking insomniac and a bit of a "pacer"--and HIM? Well, his aunt once questioned me about why we do not sleep together, and I explained that he tends to talk in his sleep. "So?" and I further explained, "It's not his talking I mind so much--but the demonic LAUGHTER makes me really nervous!"
Thanks again, dear one!

Charisma, I appreciate you so much. Thanks sweet friend!
