Hi all, they released me from college, no wiser than when I first entered. My muse is in rehab spouting jibberish I am writing down everything she says and soon enough I'll have a full poem. Until then here's an oldie I really like, because Karliea asked so nice. ----------------- A sleeper's prayer Under transgressing embers lacklustre twilight smothered every surface of the trinkets on the dresser she tended her long winter tresses unravelling the harlots and hair chains cluttered with men and misery, equal burdens of barren spring. The wick froze in an exhausted sigh, she lifted her head drowning the analgesic fairytale with water. "Let Jesus walk over me. Amen" Dismorpheous eye lids, thickening murmurs, Happy endings are only for lovers. No reprise for a broken heart, In the sea void of dreams, somewhere between reflection and infliction, he rose to brush the sorrow from her eyes. "Never give in for tomorrow I promise you a smile." This stranger she knew, An awkward lover caught in reason, it never kissed quiet like their affection. |

Jeez, no wonder you're having a writer's block! Those are hard words to come about again, ever. Awesome poem, brian. |
