The back drop
screen
of eyelids shut
flashes
x-ray
images
in dark
as irridescent
sparkles
spiral
summoning
my insides
out--
an obscene splash
of silent
scratch
of life's events--
green and black--
with frames
missing--
inbetween
photographic
memory
--a baby girl
who waves bye-bye--
to woman wild
while making love...

I pound my fist.

I startled him.

He woke and we met
eye to eye.

"Is something wrong?"
He asked from deep.

"There are lumps in my pillow.
Go back to sleep."

I'm so tired, I found a deeper meaning in th' poem. Or at least I think I did.

These smiling eyes are just a mirror for the sun.

Rayne--how I love your name--thank you for reading...and I tend to spin in circles a lot, too!

Mike--ah yes, you always KNOW--

I am ever grateful for your understanding. It helps to know that "he" and I do NOT sleep together! I am a chain-smoking insomniac and a bit of a "pacer"--and HIM? Well, his aunt once questioned me about why we do not sleep together, and I explained that he tends to talk in his sleep. "So?" and I further explained, "It's not his talking I mind so much--but the demonic LAUGHTER makes me really nervous!"

Thanks again, dear one!

Charisma, I appreciate you so much. Thanks sweet friend!
