Sitting Sleep (silly) I rise to sit asleep the only way to rest I type my words and close my eyes and fail the poem test. They flow right from my mind and down my fingertips laryngitis keeps them tight behind close of my lips. And if I then should cough a word or two sneaks out waking me from sitting sleep and dreams of things I doubt. The heated air brings tears that pour from exposed skin the fever play keeps soaking mind and flooding it within. So I am sitting here in break between my sleep dozing in an out of thought with words that wish to creep onto the blue of world and make some sense of it but even they are weakened now and once again they quit........... ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II [This message has been edited by nakdthoughts (edited 06-20-2001).] |

Ah... sure hope you feel better soon... However... the words do not seem so weak to me and perhaps they only seem that way right now... |

fascinating piece...I think I've been there...the in and out of awakeness when writing...I had thought laryngitis was a metaphorical statement, however, the others have alluded to the fact that you've been under the weather. Sorry for that and hope you ARE feeling better. This poem does not seem to be written by one who is in a weakened condition, I very much enjoyed the read. |

"and fail the poem test." These words are a falsehood to begin with......and the description of how you think you're lacking is beautiful poetry....so you can't escape your talent, because that's the way it is! The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up |

thank you Sy, only feeling good enough to sit up a while but nm head won't allow too much thinking *s VAS the laryngitis could be a statement also..sometimes I use my real life situations and mix them with the poetry so no one really knows..I seemed to have caught the flu after being soaked in a downpour during the weekend. Between the 90 degree weather and my fever I am just sweating it out... it never leaves me as quickly as it comes. Thank you for your get well wishes. It always helps when I can read on here.  E ...awww..you are some of the best medicine there is..you should bottle yourself so we all can have a bit of you in real..  Thank you everyone..big arms length huggsssss (don't want you to catch this thing) Maureen/Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". |
