Nightmares? Whispers became insistent awakened at three in the morn bolt upright, shaking, sweating. Trembling hand lighting cigarette deadly glow revealing obscure faces memories of a distant tomorrow. Sucking sweet death deep inside the glow like quivering campfire pale illumination, half remembered. Whispering, taking on form and face haunted by those once known, perhaps bizarre predictions, almost remembered. The world sleeps, unbeknownst as poet chats, dances with tomorrow yesterday reinforced, even testifies. Silent party with those left behind wondering questions filling the years gifting memories of future yet to come. Laughing out loud to dark emptiness mind filled with phantoms, demanding attention shaking hand drawing death nigh, illuminates. Suspecting this just might be insanity talking to ghosts who whisper insomnia taking notes on tomorrow’s tomorrow. bleeding... "Tis ink coming from his arm, Captain!" |

quote: oh, this is wonderful! The poet's world that we walk in, a great description. I would not trade this world of words for anything, even when people are looking at me strangely when I'm wandering around in a daze, because once again I was pulled out of bed at 3:30 in the wee hours of the morn to write the words that are screaming to be born. I'll be coming back to this beauty many, many times. Lady Nogs [This message has been edited by Lady Noggins (edited 07-31-2000).] |

Something doesn't have to be upbeat to be something truly great...like this! It's so vivid, it's almost scary...the mark of a good (or great) poet!  Little Spyro T. Dragon |
