Here I sit, in darkened room. Ghastly glow of the demon monitor, spewing its garish life on my palid face. Fingers cramped from constant click and scroll, back aching and hunched like hobbit's knoll. Constant reading of rhyme and lyric causing sing-song gobbeldygook racing throughout this sagging, lacking, illusion hacking brain. Word upon word, stanza, phrase and alliteration melding together for my caustic consideration. Why? Why spend my weary life in golem cave, rolling through endless page of poetic paint? It is my life, simple as that. My reason to be, the only reality in this fantasy we call the world. My life, my love, my serendipity and joy. Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn. |

The dancing baby, haven't seen that in a while. I like the poem, poetry can be a great escape. |

Hehehe, I was looking at that baby and listening to Billy Idol "dancing with myself" and just had to put him somewhere Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn. |

(smiles) Oh JP, I love that dancing baby too, yay, it's so great to see him again! (big hugggssssss) That is also why I dedicate much of my time here, because I want to escape to a world of much possibility and intuition and with so many friends like you here that only encourages me more to immerse in the beauty of the word! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet JP, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
