As poets dream
(some of us)
something apparent creeps closer

(don't stop)
When the music of dreams tips the cup of inspiration

(writing in slumber)
We, with trembling hands grasp empty air.


(words fill upside down skies)
Tossing end to end on body cradling structures

(while imaginations breathe on)

Do we really rest when night lives?

(pondering wisdoms)
Or do we awake even before the whispers of dawn glaze us with another day?

(after unkempt sleep has tied us once again)


*sigh This is the best I can do, folks! Colors and fonts. I've moved it so many ways around the page that I'm dizzy. lol Maybe next time will be better.   enjoy!



Your storm of assumption feeds anger I am calm enough to hold inside. Don't pretend to know me if you've never put stretched out your heart with since

YAY!!! Poets never sleep, for in our dreams and in our imaginations, we're always painting such beautiful art, just like your lovely heart always does! (sigh) You always write so lovingly and gorgeous, sweet friend! I love you so much, sweet friend! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jennifer, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Oddly enough, I write my best stuff late at night, im talking like 1 or 2am.
I love to write when all is silent and peaceful.

Ah, for this, I receive three poems...one in red, one in green, then a duet....and each one is as lovely as the other....

Thank You!  Colors and Fonts are a bugger, aren't they?
