 My eyes open at pre-dawn thoughts twisted, bothered- My muse is no longer physical. A presence echoes uneven chants into the room. I rise, as I always do. I hear a whisper steady- as a fledgling rite. "Come to bed." I turn to see.... nothing. My heart expands thins, bursts…. becomes miasma. -befriend yourself and you will never be alone- [This message has been edited by The Lady of Shallot (edited 10-24-2001).] |

Swamp gas ghost, Drifting in the window of the heart, From the host, Casually rips the sad soul apart, Smell the dank, From that which was once part of living, Now has sank, Removes the soul by lack of giving. Gloom |

I went to the dictionary to look up miasma...this seems like a lonely situation...I know the feeling...hoping for beautiful days and romantic nights for you...James |
