Lets just jump right into things


Fleeting and sweet- enveloping me in a gentle warmth 

House of red, orange and xanthous briefly flashed in front me 

Soft caresses, laying in a mother's bosom 

Flashes of picturesque dreams. . . 


Flowing fields off flitting fairies bring forth visions of-

Firelight fairies gracefully floating about freely

Carried by the wind towards neverending nirvana 


Seeping through me, me? No no no no no no!

Thick viscous slow,leaving through every pore 

Becoming cold, empty, dragging on my very soul 

Pulling me apart, warmth far gone,beautiful scene

Evaporate tenderness completely askew


Sludge seeping into me replacing the dreams

Barren landscapes perpetuated by all manner of unknown scheming

Evil planning and plotting while prowling through ashed domain


How fleeting the hope that enveloped me


The author's comments:

Written in a time when I became aware of hte cruelty of life and that some battle are hard fought but eventually lost. And that the bright light that we see as hope is often further than we originaly anticipated which can lead to deserved dissapointment.
