quickened life within the shell fire in the hole as wept in fables and mythologies consistant themes of Hell are screened beneath the lids of eyes asleep A Dream no (too much certainty) A Dream, he nods. I dream? (You dream...) "Wake me when it's over then--" NO. I'm screaming as he nods "Don't wait--just wake me now." I sobbed. "I sleep" as he began to rot. Right before my very eyes a decomposing Sigmund Freud, "Take a left at Jung." He died. I woke? "you dream..." He laughed at me (I missed a bus on 2nd st...) I woke and wrote this poem. (I hope.) |

Amazing. In my eyes, I'm not lazy. In your eyes, I'm not worth it. |

If I was truly a poet...I'd of written that lullaby by now........... I would love to live as a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding. |

I like this, I like this very much. Made me smile. Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

LOL, oh, the images I got from this one... of a decomposing Freud, and making a Jungian left turn. |

*chuckles to Balladeer* And thanks to all for reading my weirdness, and no, this one isn't another true serenity story--I was simply doing an exercize trying to capture the essence of one of those bizarre dreams, and I attempted to layer in interpretation and the infamous conflict of Freud and Jung. Weirdo me. Thanks again with my love to all! |
