Favorite Quote:
“If it weren’t for the coffee, I’d have no identifiable personality whatsoever.” –David Letterman


Barricades of eyelids

Shut, shutters vainly

Masking that intruder of a

Thought drifting away,

Spirited on a storm cloud--

Rain twinkling on eyelashes--

Eyes closed to the truth;

Honesty a door unopened,

Nonexistent to the heart.

 

Reality is an invisible, unwanted entity

Lurking, you thief of dreams,

I dreamt of you,

Dear Nightmare.

I choke

On your intent to kill

That little part of me:

Tiny-petaled, blossoming hope

That maybe,

Just maybe,

I'll find my Fountain of Youth.

 

For my mind has yet to be set on the horizon of my future.
