SUBTLE NIGHTMARES

I’ve been dealing with an especially long bout of nightmares. They don’t bother me really other than I wake up more often and that bothers me eventually. Some are relentless and some just… sneak in and subtly warp things. Like an especially large or evil smile on the face of a loved one. Or my…

ACROSS THE SLEEPING

I wish we didn’t need sleep but we do. I’m starting to feel age creeping into my bones and my brain and now more than ever I’m realizing how important a clear and stable mind sleep is. Brittle bones Trapped In a bag of flesh Fat dissolving Organs hardening Brain short Short Short-circuiting Life deteriorating…

PACING DARK

Punk Rock Papa sent me some poetry yesterday.  I am sure this one will resonate with everyone!  I love getting poetry 🙂 PACING DARK by Briton Underwood I find my mind most at work when it should be shutting down Sleep. You need it  It doesn’t listen. In fact, it never listens As I race…

MISAPPROPRIATED IMAGINATION II

MY DREAM KEPT ME

My dreams are always from my perspective, I am always me, and they are as real as my waking life. Most of the time the dream is light; I will have a conversation or do something that will solve a real life problem I have been having. Those dreams are always handy. If my life…

WAKE ME UP

INSIDE THE KALEIDOSCOPE

I needed to write….and Pharphelonus was there at just the right moment.  Thank you friend! Written by Pharphelonus and HastyWords I tried falling asleep alone again On a bed of stinging nettles They pricked me all night again The pain causing my mind to settle   The place was dark and lonely And my body…
