Sixish.... Stirring slightly against the sun creeping toward a lid fighting the tug of wakening. Another day...of scurry, hurry, somewhat blurry and.... Funny, but that ticking time machine called a heart, seems to beat faster as morn arrives with soft white becoming harsh bright against the straining lid. Sitting ominously above, perched to spring forth at any second, an alarm clock ticks away on a short fuse that will explode in a clamor, reducing my brain to a scurrying mush. Little Ben? Another name comes to mind, censored for the moment. Lying quiet as a cat after the mouse, savoring the morning wine of cool cotton with a final sigh before the tonsils are scalded with a dram or two of Juan’s finest bean. Soon, too soon....the razor slays the stubble of a two day binge against humanity. An alcoholic splash of cologne will light the fires, draw the extended gasp from soapy lips looking for a cloth....before the toothpaste mingles.... Cool cotton snuggles...as the mind drifts far away into another time...before the clamor and scald... [This message has been edited by Magnus (06-11-2003 07:03 PM).] |

LOL..a man of my talent???? Barry..you have me confused with someone else.... as for the three blind mice syndrome.. I can relate... I often begin a piece and find it ends itself far from what I had orginally thought...or that it went past the things I was thinking of.. hey..that's half the fun.. |

 (big hugggsssssssss) With having to face the harsh reality in waking up, haven't we been punished enough? (sigh) Dreaming is my favorite part of the day too, I wish I could wake and find a piece of that world hovering in my room, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |
