I've watched the willful hand of time write slowly:
Sketches on the ridge between the creases of the waking mind.
I saw the vestige hunger ghostlike rising;

then fall!

I lapped the splattered whispers left behind.

And while the pen at times was pressing harder;
and while the painful ink of Hespera's tears was no surprise,
I hid within the sore of open spaces
and watched
the dying dreams of age in youth's disguise.

owww, I like this kathy!! A beginning, a middle, an end, all with clever thought,
nicely layed out,the rhyme almost seemed unintended, I had trouble with the second line though...but loved the first and last line!!,Well done I think!

Morpheus rules.

Seriously.

In this house, he does.

The krewe of Morpheus rides next Monday night to open New Orlean's abbreviated carnival season. My husband will be dressed as...um, something green. (They dress him up and I still can't categorize the man! )

But I smiled as I read this poem, because even as I hugged it to my heart as a personal read, it made wicked sense.

Happy Mardi Gras Kathy.
