Rewrite, Repost: Doldrums The ocean laid green leaded glass A stifling still of waters pass Closed eyelids to fires red Everything was still and dead. The wheel was burning ebony My thirst was inner agony A tongue of swollen welt The driest dry I’ve ever felt. A mind of nil that drains your will The ropes of taupe looped limp and still The sails hung dirty gimp and gray A muffled soundless eerie day The stillness takes a heavy toll It reigns your mind and chains your soul And drains from you your wit and mane. It strains your frame to question sane The doldrums echo nothings dream A burning light with nothings deem. |

A mind of nil that drains your will The ropes of taupe looped limp and still The sails hung dirty gimp and gray A muffled soundless eerie day The stillness takes a heavy toll It reigns your mind and chains your soul And drains from you your wit and mane. It strains your frame to question sane The doldrums echo nothings dream A burning light with nothings deem. ======================================== Looks like Randy needs a reason to roar  and even when youre bored to the beyond... youre still cooler than cool... this line proves it.............. And drains from you your wit and mane. It strains your frame to question sane Crazy like a fox(or dragon) me thinks ya need some tea and company to get rid of the troll of droll.   |

"The stillness takes a heavy toll It reigns your mind and chains your soul And drains from you your wit and mane. It strains your frame to question sane" Oh boy .... do I ever know this feeling. You've captured it perfectly Sy ... in your beautiful and flowing style. Wonderful expression!  Best wishes, /Kit |

Boy I know this one, and I had to laugh at JM she sends you fairies to drive them away, too bad it is a family site, or I would have sent you something else! I am curious though (being a blonde and all), how is it you know so much about being a blonde too? LOL ~* Without deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people ." *~ |
