Insomnia Thoughts are pounding an equilibrium for release into a twilight morning. Cursed be I to keep them in mourning For echoing times long forsaken And midnight joys once so proudly taken I rest never shutting my lids Chances of fantasy never showing bids Transcendance? Meditation? Which of these Blocks me from apothecary's sweetened dreams? I'll murder my one hand to keep tattoing at bay Just for (if one minute) to kiss this world away Bring down a curtain to call mine own and shelter me deep from whence my mind will roam There is a purple blue-bird that sits singing (in my realized perception; dreaming) Surrounded by a fish hurrying past on a mission (I'd like to wake up now with your permission) Alas, "a foolish boy," said he, "to walk with bare feet where you cannot see." (Sir, the ground holds no razors to me. Perhaps not as foolish as he) "Slay me with your rock and where me round yon neck" (Fish of albatross; Ancient Mariner round no neck) A greasy splash left a taste of alkaline Tell me this insomnia insanity is not a sign This bird flew the room and left the coop You see, lack of sleep has made my(and his)mind soup. ------------------ Is this really that far out? I've been in a wierd mood lately "This is cactus land!!!"-T.S.Eliot |

I liked it a lot. It reminds me of my own writing technique...and, once again, self-congratulatory yap ensues. Love the writing.  |

Your style lately has completely rocked the house! I love it! "Alas, "a foolish boy," said he, "to walk with bare feet where you cannot see." (Sir, the ground holds no razors to me. Perhaps not as foolish as he)" I love that part! Well done!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

Far out, yes. Incredible....even more so....What else to say besides its going into my library for future inspiration?  ~Carly "Go outside and use your own eyes. You'll be surprised to see things you've never been taught..." |
