In the slowness of the night..
I breath and I feel.
My thoughts run wild
Through forests of wonder
Of memory and futures.
My eyes wander
Through time and in life.

But as the sun begins to rise
Reaching through my blinds
To gently caress my face..
My skin goes numb
And my heart does race
My thoughts choked off
Like there's no air, no space.

I wander the day and I tell myself
To breath
I stumble through the barren streets
Devoid of trees.
I feel the night so long ago
Slip through my fingers
Taking with it my ease.
And while I'm waiting
For the moon to free me
I am only skating
On thin ice slowly melting
Under the sky.

Then as the sun dips
Below the mountains high..
My blood runs fast
Every breath
Again begins to last.
The darkness keeps me
In tender embrace

I breath and I feel
The slowness of the night
My thoughts bound
Leaping about
And my eyes can see
Without a doubt.

I bed down with chocolate thoughts. Rich and silky -like the sheets that caress me- deep and indulgent of tonight's fire. They sooth the ache of a long day - sweet and fragrant - turning my smile and lavishly seeping into my heart. I dream candy coated dreams filled with carmel centers - stretching my imagination -pulled taffy on a candy shop counter.
Sleep is so wonderful when it seems to reach -melting like chocolate - into my soul.

I was all a grin when a saw your face
At last!
No longer would I give chase.
I had followed you
Through alleys and corners of despair
Into darkness and light so fair
But never had I seen more of you
But only
The backs of your feet two
Always breathless
Miles had passed in my mind
You had me
My heart you did bind
As I raced along your path
In pain
Along the streets my feet tore
Hoping always
I just wanted but a little more
Then glimpses
Of your golden hair
And now!
It's a wonder I don't not stare!
A sight to see,
You are to me
Like a shy bird feathers and plumes
Finally
You run no more.

Life drifts past us as a melting iceberg, shrinking and dissolving into the sea of everything the farther away it gets.

To those who may ask, how are you? My answer is none to simple. Like an ocean I may say. For I too am filled with currents. Waves flow freely upon my surface. Underneath I have icy depths and the warm inviting shallows. I too am ruled by tides. The pull me back and forth between extremes. Dragging me to the whim of the earth and fate. Flashing between sadness and depression. Loneliness. Anger, to the other end, gods euphoria. Joy, happiness and optimism. And as any ocean does, it too carves out parts of me. Chiseling away at my edges. Wearing me down. Only to bring new sands to my shore and once again rebuild. That is how I am.
